It's one thing that's always like,
There's been a major difference between, like, the performing arts to me and being a painter, you know? Like, a painter does a painting, and he does a painting. That's it, you know? He's had the joy of creating it, and he hangs it on some wall. Somebody buys it. Somebody buys it again, or maybe nobody buys it, and it sits up in a loft somewhere until he dies.
But he's never, nobody ever says to him, you know, nobody ever said to Van, go, paint a starry night again, man. LAUGHTER You know, he painted it. That was it.
Tears and fears And feeling proud To say
I really don't know life. I really don't know life at all.
I've looked at love from both sides now
And caterpillar platters in the sand.
Who are you going to get to do the dirty work?
I could drink a case of you, oh darling.
