Though I do think that all genuinely creative people (from Morrissey to Dylan) do things fundamentally for themselves first, or for their relation to their art/craft/skill, and wanting to get better at it. Some of us are lucky to have an audience, whether we're singing songs, running a cult (or football message board - there are similarities :-)), leading a forward line, or writing poetry - either because of the quality of what we do and/or the cultural circs that make an audience possible. But it's the narcissists who put the cart before the horse and worry about the audience first. The purest people do things primarily for themselves and their medium, and are honest about that. I suppose the main answer for me would be Eze does what he does, and the way he does it, because he's blessed with the special talent to do it. It's not something he chooses, in other words, as much it chooses him. A lot of it is instinct and inexplicable in the end. He's also a Christian, I think, so presumably he'd agree with this, though perhaps a bit surprisingly he doesn't reference it here. He comes over as a good lad, though. More importantly for us, let's hope that the massive summer deal is brewing, and we're saved from ourselves/our owners again for another year or two. [Post edited 16 May 16:51]
