"I think especially in a world where you have so little say about what goes on in your life, or in the politics of the world around you, it is wonderful to go into that studio, and tell yourself what to do"

This quote talks to the power of imagination and self-expression. It suggests that in a world where we often feel helpless, the act of creating something can be a source of strength and control. By entering into the studio and telling ourselves what to do, we can reclaim a few of the power that we may feel we have actually lost. It is a reminder that we can still make our own choices and have a say in our lives, even if it is just in the creative world. It is a suggestion that we can still discover joy and satisfaction in the things we develop, even if we can not manage the world around us.
