“Real artist cannot be blackmailed. I suspect they've been confessing shit all their life.”
“Yet a real artist, I've noticed, will survive anything. (Even praise, I happily suspect.)”
“I suspected that there were things he knew that I had been waiting all my life to learn.”
“Just for the record, being smeared with shit and naked in the wilderness, spattered with pink vomit, this does not necessarily make you a real artist.”
“I don't believe any real artists have ever been non-political. They may have been insensitive to this particular plight or insensitive to that, but they were political, because that's what an artist is―a politician.”
“This is emotional blackmail.''No, it’s life.”
