True artists do what they do, because it's what they do. Things like passion, dedication and not wavering from their artistic path separates them from the herd.
I'm not saying they shouldn't be compensated, quite the opposite, but the greats do it regardless of compensation.......one way or the other. |
How can his statement NOT be an absolute? He said "nearly every".
