The Ultimate Sin Of Any Performer Is

What All This Posturing And Fake Glamor Results In Is A Vast Detachment And Cynicism On The Part Of The Artists.

The Ultimate Sin Of Any Performer Is Contempt For The Audience.

The Real Question Is What To Live For. And I Can't Answer It. Except Another One Of Your Records. And Another Chance For Me To Write. Art For Art's Sake, Corny As That Sounds.
