To me that’s what art is about – when you don’t really have any control over your desires to do it.
Meaning of the quote
This quote means that art is about doing something you feel a strong need to do, even if you can't control that urge or desire. The artist doesn't have full control over their own creativity and the drive to create art. It just happens naturally without them being able to stop it or plan it out completely. Art comes from deep within the artist, beyond their ability to fully control.
