in that they're not able to talk about their work in an insightful, philosophical way?

i've noticed that in interviews with many artists who's work i admire: bowie, jagger. even dylan comes off as evasive when interviewed - he rarely says anything deep.

some people just can't "dance about architecture". it doesn't mean they're not great musicians, or "masters".
