The way people related to art in, say, ancient Greece. How it was about the community for the community and not the self-expression of the artist. I thought of `Good Will Hunting` and `Finding Forrester` as doing it for the people, and wanted to speak without the hindrance of my own style. I`m not sure if that`s possible, but it was my rationale.
