Rick Rubin on what makes an artist great
"What makes it great is the personal with all of its imperfections and quirkiness...How you see the world that's different from how everyone else sees the world."
Legendary music producer Rick Rubin, talking to Joe Rogan, on making art:
Do what's personal to you. Take it as far as you can go. Really push the boundaries. People will resonate with it if they're supposed to resonate with it. But you can't get there the other way…
What makes it great is the personal with all of its imperfections and quirkiness. That's what makes it great. How you see the world that's different from how everyone else sees the world. That's why you're an artist. That's your purpose in sharing your work with the world.
