Do you think your circuitous path to making art has made you a stronger artist?

If had I tried to make art when I was 23, it would have been a disaster. It’s really hard to make mature work when you yourself aren’t mature. When I finally did start making art six or seven years ago, it came out in a flood—and what came out was relatively well-cooked. I think that the best thing I ever did was not make art for 20 years.
