What are you trying to get at in your work? Robert Crumb:
Jesus! I dunno. I don't work in terms of conscious messages. I can't do that. It has to be something that I'm revealing to myself while I'm doing it. It's hard to explain. Which means that, while I'm doing it, I don't know what it's about. You have to have the courage, or the... to take that chance, you know? What's gonna come out? What's coming out of this? I enjoy drawing. It's a deeply ingrained habit

00:00:13.596 --> 00:00:15.093
All that stuff I did in the late '60s
00:00:16.001 --> 00:00:18.808
I didn't really know what it was about when I did it
00:00:18.893 --> 00:00:20.056
It was all very instinctive

00:00:34.867 --> 00:00:39.913
Somehow the term nigger hearts just came into my mind
00:00:39.997 --> 00:00:41.915
