"I’m going to be shot for saying this. But who said art has to cost money? And therefore, who says artists have to make money?"

This is exactly how I feel about music.
Francis Ford Coppola on making a living as an artist. The context: “You have to remember that it’s only a few hundred years, if that much, that artists are working with money. Artists never got money. Artists had a patron…or they had another job. I have another job. I make films. No one tells me what to do. But I make the money in the wine industry. You work another job and get up at five in the morning and write your script….Try to disconnect the idea of cinema with the idea of making a living and money.” (via austinkleon)
