I know you want KS's answer, not my opinion, but here goes my 2
cents anyway. besides he is so busy on the promo circuit, I wouldn't
really expect a quick response. check out this board, and imagine
the schedule he has had, plus travel time! *whew* I'm not jealous
ummm, I think that the artists' vision is what gets expressed in the
work.
The flip side of this is an artist has to let go ownership of a work once
it is released to the general public (for example there are many ways
to interpret a poem, whatever the poet's intent); not an easy thing to
do
Besides, after you meet some creators (whether movies, comic book
artists (especially) , poets, or even (especially) scientists, you find out
it is often necessary to separate the art from the artist, or you will get
disillusioned very quickly.
I am NOT AT ALL referring to KS, (how could I don't know him) but
read a biography of picasso for a good example.
Oh, well, don't mind me, maybe I'm just cranky because the sneak
preview is showing NOW at 4 theaters near my place, but i couldn't
afford to go.
