A cost to defining expression?


I stumbled upon this Stanley Kubrick quote today; I really like it.

"I have steadfastly avoided talks, lectures, etcetera, because they tend to formalize my own thinking, which I think would not be a good thing."

Is there a risk of over analyzing art? When we verbalize and quantify what we're doing, or what we're thinking someone else is doing, do we ruin the original expression of it?
