“I think the popular concept of the artist is a person who has this great passion and enthusiasm and super emotion. He just throws himself into this great masterpiece and collapses from exhaustion when it’s finished. It’s really not that way at all. Usually it’s a pretty calculated, sustained, and slow process by which you develop something…It’s not done with one’s emotions; it’s done with the head.”
