The 'line' is in your head and constantly changes according to your circumstances and life experience. Nobody can tell you what's right or wrong because nobody has lived your life.

One thing I will say is that you do get hardened to situations when you're constantly put in them. I get looked down on and threatened fairly often on sensitive jobs, because people see me as crossing THEIR line, not my own. On the flip side it's all pats on the back and 'you're brave' when I'm hanging out of a helicopter or on the ground in Afghanistan.

The world needs artists to cross lines and boundaries, otherwise all we'd see hanging on our walls or opening our newspapers and magazines are shots of bees on flowers!
