How can anybody learn anything from an artwork when the piece of art only reflects the vanity of the artist and not reality?

Coming to a blue ocean near you

I never learn anything talking. I only learn things when I ask questions.

I'm an artist and that means I can be as egotistical as I want to be.

If there’s a thing, a scene, maybe, an image that you want to see real bad, that you need to see but it doesn’t exist in the world around you, at least not in the form that you envision, then you create it so that you can look at it and have it around, or show it to other people who wouldn’t have imagined it because they perceive reality in a more narrow, predictable way. And that’s it. That’s all an artist does.

I can create a vibe without saying anything, just by being in the room.
