“For myself, I’m starting to fear that music is far too selfish, self-absorbed, and self-interested for the ordinary life. When I’m entrenched in a project, for instance, the dishes are left undone; the bills left unpaid, the house is a mess. I become sub-human. I begin to despise all my bad habits."
I love this quote, as a visual artist it describes EXACTLY what happens when you are knee deep into a project. Your world kind of gets warped and melted into it and I always feel like a slob sloshing around and full of self-loathing. The excitement kinda drains from you and the hard gritty and intense work needed to plow through stares and you dead in the eye.
This is why I love him, because HE IS AN ARTIST. Not some shit making "I can barely sing and I look hot," so call musician. His crisis that he is wading through makes him both divine and human at the same time. I see him as a fellow artist but also as a hero to look up to.
