Constable worked in a mill
David Smith worked in a factory
Degas and Matisse were lawyers
Van Gogh was a preacher
Cauguin started painting in his 30s
Salman Rushdie began as a copywriter
Rousseau began as a customs agent
Wallace Stevens was an insurance agent
So was Raymond Chandler
T.S. Elliot was a bankerArtist is just another label.
What’s the difference between saying, “I’m writing a screenplay” and “I’m a screenwriter,” “I paint” and “I’m a painter”? I think it’s simply insecurity. Call yourself whatever the hell you want. Or don’t. Just keep working.
Talk less about your identity and do more to define, live, and believe it.

I paint.
