We don't perceive a contradiction between writing books, making films or producing a television program. These days you can't choose how you want to express yourself anymore.

If you want to read and you want to draw, that helps you to express yourself.

Express yourself, don't hurt yourself.

Music expresses - you express yourself with music.

When you're doing a radio show, you can express yourself.

Life is very, very short, and you can choose to live it how you want. You can choose to dumb yourself down and not express yourself just so you can fit in, just so people won't dislike you.
