“I honestly believe that sound commercialism is the best test of true value in art. People work hard for their money and if they won't part with it for your product the chances are that your product hasn't sufficient value. An artist or writer hasn't any monopoly .... If the public response to his artistry is lacking, he'd do well to spend more time analyzing what's the matter with his work, and less time figuring what's the matter with the public.” PeopleIfsBelieveWellsArtMatterHardArtistValuesSoundChanceResponsibilityProductsHard WorkTestsResponseHonestlySufficientMore TimeLackingMonopolyChances AreArtistryAnalyzingTrue ValueCommercialism Book:Pegasus Pulls a Hack: Memoirs of a Modern Minstrel Source: Pegasus Pulls a Hack: Memoirs of a Modern Minstrel

There's nothing you can do with your body that's going to show in the final product. Maybe that's all the more reason I used my body so much to get whatever noise or sounds out of it I could.

“The right way is the greatest gratifier of human wishes ever come upon - when allowed to operate. It is as morally sound as the Golden Rule. It is the way of willing exchange, of common consent, of self-responsibility, of open opportunity. It respects the right of each to the product of his labor. It limits the police force to keeping the peace. It is the way of the free market, private property, limited government.
