Yep...Makes Sense

Yo,

I frequently check out the Onion's AV Club website. This week they posted an interview with Chuck Palahnuik, author of Fight Club. Here's what he has to say about making art:

Here’s my theory: Anyone who makes a career in writing, music, painting, or whatnot succeeds as being a constant witness, always harvesting from the world. Any “artist” makes a living by expressing what other’s can’t – because they’re unaware of their feelings, they’re too afraid to express those feelings, or they lack the skills to communicate or be understood. Being fucked up isn’t required. In fact, it tends to cut careers short.

Wise words, Chuck. Wise fucking words.

You can read the whole interview here:

Enjoy.

Jim out.
