"I don't go there much. You're thrilled that people would recognize what you're doing in such a grand kind of way. But, just like you don't know if anybody's really going to like what you're doing when you put a record out or if anybody's going to pay attention to it, you can't really go there"

- Alison Krauss

About this Quote

In this quote, Alison Krauss expresses an intricate blend of humbleness, gratitude, and realism worrying her operate in the music market. The preliminary statement, "I do not go there much," suggests a hesitation or cautiousness in engaging with the overwhelming recognition and praise that a person may get from their work. This humility is a grounding force, allowing her to remain concentrated on the craft instead of getting swept away by external validation.

She acknowledges the excitement that comes from being acknowledged--"You're delighted that people would recognize what you're performing in such a grand kind of method"-- which shows a gratitude for the acknowledgment artists receive for their efforts. This acknowledgment is necessary in any creative field, as it verifies the energy and enthusiasm took into a job. Nevertheless, the immediacy of praise is tempered by unpredictability, indicating that external recognition, while pleasing, is not the sole function of creating art.

Krauss even more looks into the unpredictability of artistic success, highlighting, "just like you do not know if any person's actually going to like what you're doing when you put a record out or if anyone's going to take notice of it." This reveals a vulnerability inherent in the creative process. When putting out brand-new work, there's constantly a risk that it may not resonate with the audience.

The expression "you can't actually go there" recommends that despite the capacity for acknowledgment, she deliberately selects to concentrate on the innovative process rather of the reception. This points to a deeper philosophical stance-- art ought to be driven by internal enthusiasm rather than external approval. Krauss's reflection is a testimony to her stability and commitment to authenticity, highlighting a balance between taking pleasure in acknowledgment and remaining grounded in one's artistic function.
