A while back I did an interview with Platform Art and one of the questions I was asked was:

What's something you've seen or read that's really stuck with you?
KEVIN: A few weeks ago I watched Fitzcarraldo, the 1982 Herzog film, for the first time. First of all, the concept of the film is insane. The main character, who the film is named after, could be described as an evangelist. But instead of colonizing under the helm of Christianity, his pursuit is to give the opera to the indigenous people of the Amazon. For Fitzcarraldo, the opera is a religious experience. He was moved so deeply by the opera that he is compelled to share this experience. And while I'm not in a place of proselytization, I understand his madness in relation to painting. I think most artists have this kind of madness in some way, where it's a compulsion to draw attention to a thing, followed by the hope that other people will see and experience what is being exalted.
