About this Quote

Patton Oswalt's quote talks to the idea that it can take a very long time to acknowledge one's own imaginative work as an art form. He suggests that he at first acknowledged the art kind of what he was carrying out, however it took him a long time to see his own work in the very same method. This talks to the concept that it can be difficult to acknowledge one's own creative work as art, as it can be hard to be objective about something that is so personal. It can be tough to go back and view one's own work as something that is worthy of being called art. Oswalt's quote speaks to the idea that it can require time to acknowledge one's own imaginative work as art, and that it is a procedure that needs patience and self-reflection.
