«It's a great excuse and luxury, having a job and blaming it for your inability to do your own [art]. When you don't have to work, you are left with the horror of facing your own lack of imagination and your own emptiness. A devastating possibility when finally time is your own.»

Julian Schnabel*

*(Brooklyn, New York, U.S. 26-Oct-1951)
Artist and filmmaker. In the 1980s, received international media attention for his "plate paintings"—large-scale paintings set on broken ceramic plates.
