It's often disappointing, I've found, to hear an artist talk about their own work.
The artist rarely, if ever, lives up to my expectations of them, as the creator of something I like.
Instead, I've started to look at artists as separate people, who are capable of creating work I like, but otherwise I try to think of them as entirely separate, and hope I can come to appreciate/like them for who they are, beyond just, the "vessel" for the art I like.
