Animus is the wrong word. You have to have a fighting spirit, I guess I would say, where you're just not going to be daunted. Which, as I was going through this, I found very reassuring. Because, of course, the reason I did the book was because I... I had recently taken a painting and felt enormous frustration, enormous sense of failure in that. And truly, what I didn't understand is in a group,

There is a conversation that happens that's external. You and I, if we're working together making a magazine, we talk about something. There's a phrase that came up in the David Simon chapter called the bounce. Our method of making something better is by bouncing. I say something to you, you say something to me, bang, bang, bang.

In the end, something happens which is better than it was when we started. In most artists' lives, that conversation has to happen in their own head. I became very confused. How does someone have this kind of inner dialogue? And that's what I was trying to understand.

So would this book exist had you been a better painter? Probably not. I would not have had The Drive, which was born of my own frustration. Also, I would have been satisfied painting all day because I would, I hope, have taken a certain kind of satisfaction from the painting itself that, you know, why do you want to do anything else?

I just want to do this all day long, which now I feel actually not because I've gotten to be a better painter, but because I understand something about my relationship to painting that I learned from the book. Which is what? When you say this in this context, it sounds so banal, but here I'll say it.

No, well... There's a way in which that's a description. But what I would really say is that I was trying to create narratives, and so for the narrative to work, I wanted a happy ending. I wanted an exaltation. I wanted that moment in the rom-com with the big kiss at the end where everyone lives happily ever after.

And the artists themselves, when they would get to that point in their own storytelling of their own work, refused to give me that. They would express a certain amount of relief that the thing was over. Maybe they would say, yeah, it was nice. I was glad other people got to see it and I heard some nice things about it. But you never got the big firework.
