It's rare to find a consistently creative or insightful person who is also an angry person. They can't occupy the same space, and if your anger moves in, generosity and creativity often move out. It's difficult to use revenge or animus to fuel great work.

Art is when we do work that matters in a creative way, in a way that touches (people) and changes them for the better.
