know all of the things.
I need to tell my story properly
because you learn from the part
of the story... you focus on.
Take Vincent.
Old mate... Vincent van Gogh.
The way we tell his
story... it's no good.
It's destructive. Because we've
reduced it to a tale of rags to riches.
He only sold one painting in his life.
You know? Now look at him.
"He's quite dead." Yeah,
but very successful!
Only sold one painting in his lifetime.
And people believe, with that story,
that Van Gogh was this
misunderstood genius.
You know, he was born ahead of his time.
What a load of sh*t.
Nobody is born ahead of their time.
It's impossible!
Nobody's born ahead of their time!
Maybe premmie babies, but they catch up!
Artists don't invent zeitgeists!
They respond to it.
He was not ahead of his time. He
was a Post-Impressionist painter,
painting at the peak
of Post-Impressionism,
while Peter was picking
his pickled pepper.
He wasn't born ahead of his time.
He couldn't network.
'Cause he was mental.
He was... crazy. He had unstable energy.
street to avoid him.
That's why he didn't sell any more
than one painting in his lifetime.
He couldn't network.
This whole idea, this romanticizing
of mental illness, is ridiculous.
It is not a ticket to genius.
It's a ticket to f***ing nowhere.
And artists are not these incredible,
you know, mythical creatures
that exist outside of the world.
very much part of the world,
and very... very firmly
attached to power.
Always. Power and money,
art is always there.
Right back to the Renaissance.
Oh, the Turtles? All of them.
All of them, they knew how to network.
Leonardo?
Raphael?
Donatello?
They're right up there, painting
their own business cards, schmoozing.
Michelangelo was a bit
difficult, he was a bit... crazy.
But, you know, he still networked.
He gave gobbies to the Pope.
Kissed his ring. Literally. But...
history is such an elitist sport.
It taught me a lot, you know.
Useless... as far as a
money-earner's concerned,
world because of art history.
I understand this world very well.
I understand the world I live
in... because of art history.
I understand the world I
live in and my place in it.
And I don't have one.
And do you know how
much time that saved me?
I'm quite old, but look at the skin!
That's 'cause I haven't wasted
time looking... for how I fit in.
I don't.
A lot of naps.

A virgin or a whore.
