I almost feel like its an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure. I dont want to paint the same painting again.

We all fall into our habits, our routines, our ruts. They're used quite often, consciously or unconsciously, to avoid living, to avoid doing the messy part of having relationships with other people, of dealing with a person next to us.
