Being around him- and Lee- It wasn’t like you were around “artists”. I’d been in painting classes in art school and these two seemed like just regular guys who enjoyed shooting all the time like some people exercise or eat- they didn’t talk about art ideas or the work that much. I wonder what he would have said if someone had asked him if he was ruthless or had a conscience. I have no idea.These two dodged any artsy questions like the plague- It was just “I just shoot to entertain myself and I don’t care what you think.”
