When it comes to any sort of project, idea, or proposal, a quick and decisive “no” is almost always preferable to an insincere or wishy-washy “yes.” Of course, while I find non-answers aggravating, I fully understand the impulse. Telling someone you disagree or don’t like something they’ve done is hard. But it’s as important as just about anything you’ll ever do, both as an artist and as a person.
