It's from Phil Mushnick though...
Someone should write a slam piece on him. The circle of life.
Also,
"One does well to separate the artist from his work, which should be taken more seriously than he is. Ultimately, he is no more than its pre-condition, the womb, the soil, possibly the manure and midden upon which, from which it grows—and thus, in most cases, something which must be forgotten before the work itself can be enjoyed."
