This advice from @RickRubin hits home: “The audience comes last. I believe that. I’m not making it for them. I’m making it for me. And **it turns out that when you make something truly for yourself, you’re doing the best thing you possibly can for the audience. ** So much of why if you go to the movies, so many big movies are just not good. It’s because they’re not being made by a person who cares about it. They’re being made by people who are trying to make something that they think someone else is going to like. And that’s not how art works. That’s something else. […] It’s almost like a diary entry. Can I be concerned that someone else might not like my diary entry? It doesn’t make sense. It has nothing to do with them.” View Tweet
