There is no real art in America other than business, and anyone who thinks that there is is crazy. People who are artistic and who are working for big companies are dead, are dead men. You can’t work for a big company and have any respect for yourself unless you’re out to make money. People plunge their careers and their lives headlong into making money – and when they get it, they don’t like it, they don’t need it and they don’t know what to do with it. Money is the last refuge of people who’ve been scared by life, whose only way to survive is to acquire as much money and power as they can – to protect themselves. But from what? We’ve got to realize that money is useless beyond whatever it takes to feed, clothe and house yourself. As a matter of fact, the more you have beyond that – whatever it takes to free you from those basic concerns – the more difficult it is to find out what really matters and to get it for yourself.
