“Is a magnum opus only once in your career?”
i honestly think this question is more sincere than its getting credit for. its actually something have been asking myself a lot recently. its a hard question to think about and even hard explain to people who have never pushed the limits of a "craft". the rest of those quotes are pretty over the top but ill give him the benefit of the doubt because hes not really talking down anyone so much as talking down to everyone. every kind of smart person goes through this phase. most of them grow out of it around 30. some double down. hard to tell what he will do. i cant imagine having that much smoke regularly blown up my ass at such a young age. it would be weird if he wasnt a little warped.
It’s not a sincere question, it’s redundant. By definition, the answer is yes.
“Is a magnum opus only once in your career?”
I believe so“Well, I don’t want that. Not the single greatest thing I’ll ever do, but I want to show myself doing everything that I can do...Through talking with other people, I saw the box they put around me and I’ve been taking it apart little by little...
I’ve stepped into a space where there’s a possibility of multiple personas to coexists with my own and I can step into them and not take everything so seriously. It’s not as personal”.
C’mon - even MJ or Puleo would struggle to come up with this stuff. That’s impressive! Like I said, let’s hope Mark doesn’t get SOTY and this spurs him on to even more genuine eccentricity and creative skating.
