That's basically what's going on now: Everything is propaganda.
I just find things that work and embellish them.
I also learned to be more confident, to trust my instincts more.
I lost my power in the world because I did not use it.
All of my style came from listening to records.
When I work alone, it can be like dabbling with a canvas. Maybe you paint over bits, and it starts to form its own life and lead you off in a direction. It becomes an intuitive, subconscious process.
