If you could ask an artist anything, what would you ask them?

I have a 15-questions 'interview' that i've put together, but I'm interested to see if there's any kind of question that I might not have thought about. If it's okay, I'm not going to list any of the questions, that i've thought about. Because I don't want to sway what you might be thinking of.

Hmm, I might say...

- Who are you most inspired by?
- Where can your work be seen?
-What do you want to most convey in your work?
-When did you first become interested in art or when did you know you wanted to be an artist?
-Why do you choose the subject matter you work with?
-How have you chosen the process you work with?

Where do you go when your well of inspiration is running low?
or
When you find yourself stalled in the middle of an artwork how do you reignite the fire?

What are 15 things every artist should ask of themselves?

What situations in life have left their deepest impressions on you?

Where do you see yourself and society moving and why?

What are the things that form interpretation?

Can you talk a little bit about corporate/capitalist exploitation concerning artists?

-Why?
-What is your greatest artistic weakness (remember this is not always a negative)?
-Where do you find your work evolving into?
-What is your favorite iconography/imagery/symbolism (visual, audible, literary, etc) that directs where you are inspired, driven and drawn toward?

that last one might need to be refined, but I believe you can draw from it the dialogue I think it can inspire.

What do you do to bring yourself back from a lull in creativity?
Do you think your art should be similar in a way that when people look at your work, they know who the artist is that created it?
What is your work schedule like?

How do you define art?
What is the purpose of your art/performance/creation?
Do you allow others to impact how you create?
