“But an artist, he realized. Or rather so-called artist. Bohemian. That's closer to it. The artistic life without the talent.”
“Artistic talent is far more common than the talent to nurture artistic talent.”
“An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.”
“A truly great artist has many talents.”
“because talent alone doesn't make an artist”
“No artist knows everything (yea, even this artist - piss-artist, con-artist, body-artist) but since every artist knows more than he can tell, all art is lying by omission.”
