Alex Hirsch's Views on Art

(1:45:20) "I support any headcanons, have fun, do what you want... you don't have to ask 'do you support this?' or 'do you support that?'... your art is about you. We're not gonna support, we're not gonna condemn, it's like - have fun, y'know? We support creativity, we support hard work, we support everybody being chill. Like, the one thing I don't support is anybody going on anybody's twitter or tumblr and saying 'change the way you draw - don't draw this, don't draw that.'" - Alex

"Why would anyone blast someone else for liking-" - Dana

"-whatever, whatever you want-" - Alex

"-anything! it's dumb, it's stupid." - Dana

"Yeah! Like just chill out guys, like it's such a glorious thing to be able to make art, and to create, and to like express yourself. And it's such a waste of time to tell other people what they can or can't draw, should or shouldn't draw, like that's not how art works. the whole point of art is self expression." - Alex

"Art is not about censorship." - Dana

"It's about the person who creates it and what they want to create. And if you don't like it you don't have to look at it. Y'know? It's alright... (joking) there's gonna be somebody that finds a way to spin that in to like, 'oh alex said that if I draw a picture of killing my mom then it's okay.' It's like, yeah it is, draw it in your sketchbook just don't show anybody, but draw what you want." - Alex

"Also, don't do it! (the killing mom thing)" - Dana

"Don't do it! But seriously, like you're not the 'thought police', like you don't have to-" - Alex

"Yeah, yeah this ain't 1984!" - Dana

"Y-yeah, c-c'moooon... someone's gonna write: 'Alex and Dana-" - Alex

"-are thought police!'" - Dana

"-support pedo*hilia.' That's what they're gonna say." - Alex

"Ugh, don't even say it..." - Dana

"Yeah, whatever. Don't - Just get over yourselves, don't tell each other what to do, have a good time. Alright." - Alex (1:47:04)
