I'm vulnerable to criticism. Any artist is because you work alone in your studio and until recently critics were the only way you'd get any feedback.
But the wicked passions of men's hearts alone seem strong enough to leave...
Your thoughts and emotions are yours alone.
I think the idea that you can go this alone is - was a huge mistake. And...
You are forever alone.
It's being willing to walk away that gives you strength and power - if you're willing to accept the consequences of doing what you want to do.
