Gray Area

"There are hordes of these people like him out there, you photo people, and if I gave every one even a single minute of my time I would be stuck in a vortex of characterless girls and liminal places or whatever the current thing is. But I don’t want to know every last detail of his unsustainable career. It’s such bullshit; email bulletins, newsletters, facebook updates, blog postings asking me to like his page. How does he put this stuff out, how can he have any dignity or pride in what he does when he comes up with this. I make art and I don’t do this stuff, I don’t tell everyone how great I am, how fabulously I’m doing, how the sun shines out of my arse. I don’t do it because 1. It isn’t true and 2. I don’t want to do it."
