Marc Almond

"Why do artists tend towards mental illness and drug abuse? Because they sense that what they do is of secondary importance. They are by and large watchers, not doers. They are the adjectives to the nouns that are others' lives. They are inferiority and mediocrity personified.
As for 'art for its own sake'- that's a pile of BS. I might as well point to my fingernail and claim "It is what it is!"...Nothing worthy is derived from itself; it must be derivative of something completely within the realm of objective reality.
Real life and those who live it is the carriage rolling by...Art is the sound of the carriage, heard through the ears of the passive, fearful, life-hating artist.
Just thought I'd let all you artists know that you're wasting your time (and the time of your audience)"
