Working As A Solo Artist Has Given

I Do Have Fantasies Of Buying A Helicopter And A Lot Of Machine Guns, But I Don't Know If I Can Do That. I'd Like To Have A Lot Of Weapons, Grenades And Things. And I Want To Have A Solar Energy Machine. And I Want To Have A Sunken Garden With A Glass Roof. I Guess That's About It For Now. I Have A Few Other Wants But I Can't Remember Them.

If I Had To Spend Equal Time Doing Paintings, And Equal Time Going To Galleries And Doing Art Business, And Equal Time Making Music, And Equal Time Going To Record Companies, Or To The Publicist Or To The Lawyer, Forget It. It Would Take Four Times As Long To Do All That Stuff. Unless I Had A Patron. That's Why Leonardo Da Vinci Was Successful. He Had The Medicis, Right?

But As A Writer And Performer, I Want To Get Paid For What I Do.

To Be An Artist You Have To Be As Much A Businessman To Succeed, You Have To Spend An Equal Amount Of Time Doing Business As You Spend Doing Your Craft.

I Could Be A Housewife… I Guess I’ve Vacuumed A Couple Of Times.
