Summary

This quote implies that explaining the realities of life to a teenager is pointless or ineffective, much like trying to wash a fish. It suggests that teenagers may not fully grasp or appreciate the wisdom and guidance offered to them due to their youthful naivety or rebellious nature. Just as a fish is not in need of a bath since it is already accustomed to its natural environment, this quote implies that teenagers may believe they already know everything they need to know, disregarding advice or information provided to them.

When I work alone, it can be like dabbling with a canvas. Maybe you paint over bits, and it starts to form its own life and lead you off in a direction. It becomes an intuitive, subconscious process.
