“I'm not conditioned to be an entertainer. An entertainer pleases others while an artist only has to please himself. The problem with that is artists are misunderstood by all. I'm not interested in the clarinet but in music. we speak our emotions into music. An artist should write for himself and not for an audience. If the audience likes it, great. If not, they can keep away. My situation is the same. Let them concentrate on my music and not on me. I like the music. I love it and live it, in fact. But for me, the business part of music just plain stinks.” IfsShouldWritingFactsProblemArtistSpeakEmotionSituationAudiencePleaseLikesNot InterestedMisunderstoodEntertainersStinkClarinet Author:Artie Shaw
