It was important that I became successful. People say they do it for the love, and yes, you do it for the love, but you want to be successful.
In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant.
However, I don't feel the world is looking over my shoulder when I am working - I never think about this at all. What I think about is trying to make my work pure, and if it is pure then it can be accessible. It is quite straight forward really.
