\u201cIf you want to really hurt your parents, and you don\u2019t have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I\u2019m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven\u2019s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.\u201d<\/p>\n
