I think it's harder than ever to be an artist. I think that you end up, especially as a middle-aged person, you pay such big consequences for saying, 'I'm just going to devote my life to making art,' or 'I'm going to devote my life to writing novels.' You end up with no resources.

  • -- Dana Spiotta 达娜·斯皮奥塔

我认为成为一名艺术家比以往任何时候都难。我认为你最终，尤其是作为一个中年人，你要为说“我要把我的一生奉献给艺术”或“我要把我的一生奉献给写小说”而付出巨大的代价。“你最终会一无所有。
