JCO is right. Every weakness is a secret source of strength. Emerson says this:
not at all. it is fascinating to learn how in the history of the arts a genius emerges because he could not create what was, up to that time, "art." one example, Jackson Pollock. just as Beckett understood that he could not out-Joyce James Joyce, or Andy Warhol that he could not…

Expert-level Nobokovian reverse-backhanded compliment. If posting had not existed, Oates would have invented it.
Had a great talk with Abel Ferrara about Turn in the Wound and the psychological scars of war. He also told me (joking? not?) about a Driller Killer sequel and convinced me to go to Russia. Listen: thefilmstage.com/emulsion-ep-12…

Dawned on me just now how much of my tastes, interests in movies etc, might have been a by-product of having seen Scorsese's Italian cinema documentary before seeing his American cinema documentary
