Zappa, Bosch, Escher, Nabokov, Stravinsky, Picasso... All the real artists want to challenge you, and themselves.

It can’t be the only role, because without something else to go with that role it can’t challenge. It still has to be good, and has to reflect some aspect of reality. But it has to reflect it in a way that makes you think.

That is actually a left wing trope.
