There’s a myth out there about the self-centeredness of artists, about a certain kind of creator who reserves all of their best energy for their MUSIC, letting personal relationships fall by the wayside. I look at a work like Sunday in the Park - the Sondheim musical - which is all about an artist so selfish he ruins the chance of happine...
