I realised the bohemian life was not for me. I would look around at my friends, living like starving artists, and wonder, Wheres the art? They werent doing anything. And there was so much interesting stuff to do, so much fun to be had… maybe I could even quit renting. – P. J. ORourke

All works of art are commissioned in the sense that no artist can create one by a simple act of will but must wait until what he believes to be a good idea for a work comes to him. – W. H. Auden
