Artists themselves are not confined but their output is.

Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.

Lesser artists borrow great artists steal.

Immature artists imitate. Mature artists steal.

Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.

It's usually a big kind of vent of frustration or anger or sadness that puts me in the right frame of mind to write. It's such a cliche to say that artists write when they're down but it's true for me. It's a relief to get out what's eating away at my heart or my soul or my head.
