'Critics can sometimes be important, particularly if they are fair-minded and constructive, and know the music as a musician would.  But how many musician-critics are there?  In England there are some who simply like to write well.  They put the art of writing first.  That's misleading for the public, and it's terrible for the artist.  One wants to defend oneself, yet can't.  There's something wrong about never being able to answer back or meet a critic and discuss your playing with him – don't you think?

As to what I would say to a young writer? Don't think of it as a career, think of it as practice. Read everything by one poet. Learn one whole language and world at a time. Don't worry about understanding it critically. Not at first. Not for a long time.

Drawing from the imagination is not the same as drawing from life and writing book reviews is not the same as writing a short story. But the critical thinking needed to write a book review can help inform a work of fiction, the same way drawing a real person can help you better depict one who is wholly invented.

On Drawing

Drawing may be the most intimate and honest of all art mediums. Its lightweight materials enable artists to work almost anywhere and often give their efforts a truth-telling transparency that exposes the very nerve endings of their talent. Sometimes drawings function almost as a kind of signature, distilling an artist's sensibility to its essence. Sometimes they express gifts visible in no other medium.

What would you say to a young person today who wants to change the world?

First, you have the creative power, alone yourself, to change the whole world. Start believing in it. When you believe in it, you start finding out how you're going to make it happen. And always start small. Nothing will change overnight. But you start the process. In order to solve global problems, you have to solve the problems of individuals. If you bring it down to the individual, you'll see how doable it is to solve it. We always think of global problems, and we get stuck. It's overwhelming. So this is the way to proceed. Solve one person's problem, then five people's problem.

Yunus

How do you explore, if you don't do things that people don't like? If I listened to people, I'd never try anything, and I'd never grow. Getting paid for this stuff is good, but it's the growing that's important.
