Great Art Doesn't Compete
On his recent episode with music producer, Rick Rubin, Brian Koppelman asked whether Rick ever felt a sense of competition with other music makers.
Rick’s answer is simple, and powerful.
“I’m interested in great art. That’s it.
Great art doesn’t compete with other great art. It’s just great, or it’s not for you
…and it’s all good.”
With this in mind, I think we have a choice:
a) make art so great that it exists at the level where it doesn’t compete, OR
b) decide we’re not interested in competing…and go and make some great art.
Which will you choose?
