I'm in my usual state up here in the commentary box: high tension, heart beating like a trip hammer, whatever that is.
I realized by using the high notes of the chords as a melodic line, and by the right harmonic progression, I could play what I heard inside me. That's when I was born.
I trained as an actor with Lee Strasberg, Elia Kazan, and Harold Clurman, and those guys set a very high bar.

Insanity is a very high art form. If everyone was insane, I wouldn't be here!
The novel is the first art form that is an honest-to-god commodity. That's what makes it different from both high art and folk art.
The leading edge in evidence presentation is in science; the leading edge in beauty is in high art.
