“Puppeteer” by Blurt (1981)
Taking Drawing Lessons from Artist and Journalist Molly Crabapple
“There are certain things I do if I sit down to write,”
“I have a glass of water or a cup of tea. There’s a certain time I sit down, from 8:00 to 8:30, somewhere within that half hour every morning,” he explained. “I have my vitamin pill and my music, sit in the same seat, and the papers are all arranged in the same places. The cumulative purpose of doing these things the same way every day seems to be a way of saying to the mind, you’re going to be dreaming soon”

Cinema Is a Mosaic Made of Time
“There are two basic categories of film directors. One consists of those who seek to imitate the world in which they live, the other of those who seek to create their own world. The second category contains the poets of cinema, Bresson, Dovzenko, Mizoguchi, Bergman, Buñuel and Kurosawa, the cinema’s most important names. The work of these film-makers is difficult to distribute: it reflects their inner aspirations, and this always runs counter to public taste. This does not mean that the film-makers don’t want to be understood by their audience. But rather that they themselves try to pick up on and understand the inner feelings of the audience.”

“Biro” by Honeyblood (2015)
Everyone is an author with something to say.
Everyone’s got a picture to paint.
My story will turn gold, or so I’ve been told.
It’s got ‘best-seller” written all over it.
All the pain you’ve been through will be the making of you.
All the pain you’ve been through, will be the making.
Nobody knows the trouble you’ve seen,
Nobody really comes close.
But you’re over it now, you can boast.
Each page printed is honest truth.
Troubles when they plagiarise you.
Shit to brand new, you’ll get around to it soon.
All the pain you’ve been through will be the making of you.
Tear the heart in two, it’ll be the making of you.
If I threw my pen into the sea,
I know they’ll be someone to write after me.
Will be the making of you.
All the pain you’ve been through will be the making of you.
