“Having a mood disorder is not synonymous with having artistic talent, but it is true that people in the so-called creative professions-writers, actors, artists, musicians-have a higher than normal incidence of such illnesses, and there are also a disproportionate number of alcoholics in these fields whose drinking may be an attempt to medicate the anxiety of depression.” PeopleMayArtistActorsNumbersCreativeTalentFieldsHigherDepressionNormalAnxietyMusicianDrinkingIllnessProfessionMoodMental IllnessArtisticDisorderAlcoholicsIncidenceArtistic TalentMood Disorders Author:Tracy Thompson
“There are any number of models artists can use to profit off of their talent and artistry. It is not up to the state to protect them from competition.

“I haven't figured out how to do anything yet besides recording music - I don't even entirely know how to do that. My favorite phrase is "It takes a lot of imagination to have no talent." So it's a struggle because I struggle between thinking about whether or not I'm actually a musician, am I actually an artist. Does it matter what I'm doing? Should I just go and jump off a bridge? Thinking about the social hierarchy and the fact that I'm American, and how I don't identify with being American, nor do I identify with any nationality or my race.” ThinkingArtistImaginationStruggleTalentMusicianMy Favorite Author:Willis Earl Beal
