Ehhh, it doesn't have to. I can understand what this guy is saying, but you don't have to feel INTENSE every time you want to draw something. Your drawing is for you. Draw spontaneously! Draw when you're chilled, when you're angry or upset, or when you're happy.
No, you don't have to make your anatomy perfect to be an artist, but getting a good sense of 3D and perspectives and anatomy will really help you so much to understand what it is that you want to put down on paper, even if you skew reality in order to create your art.
But hey, I think we're being a bit scary here. Just doodle when you fancy for the time being, don't worry about any of this passion or anatomy stuff until you feel ready to take it to the next level. Practise makes perfect!
