Do you guys think about stuff like that? As far as genre or style or subject matter? Like, what do you have that's particular (but not unique) to you that would inform what you should do to bring out your best work?
This might be a ridiculously pedestrian question. Like, "Of course, don't you?" Or, just a ridiculous one. "No, what? What in the hell are you talking about?"
I'm not sure, but I just have this recurring sense that my best bet would be to try to address this question. I had an acting teacher in college. He'd been a working actor on Broadway, and he said something to the effect of, 'Most people go through life having no idea who they are, but an artist doesn't have that luxury.' Ha, but I do realize that I could be totally off, and that it might just be me looking for an easy way out. Not that knowing yourself enough for it to be useful is ever easy.
