The more congenial page of some tenth-rate poeticule worn out with failure after failure and now squat in his hole like the tailless fox, he is curled up to snarl and whimper beneath the inaccessible vine of song.
It's frustrating not to have more control over your material.
Twelve to 15 years of acting school, and I am being a bird.
My big frustration in New Order was that they played the same tracks all the time.
I'm always working on stuff. But they never materialize. I'm always working on movies and TV shows.
If I see my films described as 'quirky' or, even worse, 'snarky' one more time, I'm going to probably seriously consider an early retirement. All these years, I've labored under the conceit that they were "darkly humorous.'
I suppose I was a frustrated artist. I like fitting things together, and there are plenty of different ways to do that with real estate.
My dad was always such a frustrated artist. He always worked very hard to support his family, doing a bunch of ridiculous jobs. He wanted to be a painter, but then he also wrote science-fiction novels in his spare time. He was always so frustrated having to work to support the family that I was like, I'm never going to do that. I don't want to just be working a menial job to support my family and dreaming of being an artist. We learn from our fathers in that way.
Painting is like having a bad mistress who spends and spends and it's never enough ... I tell myself that even if a tolerable study comes out of it from time to time, it would have been cheaper to buy it from somebody else.
My acting career wasn't going where I wanted it to. I wasn't getting good parts. I got so bored with myself that I started writing.
I was so frustrated in Sabbath after the last few albums. I just didn't like the musical direction Sabbath was going in.
I've tried to pitch 'Borgen - the Musical,' but they just won't listen to me!
Every time I watched my acting on 'Dynasty,' I cringed. Creatively, I felt stifled.
There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.
I'm not like one of those actors who's a frustrated director.
I started buying films a couple of years ago. The first film-maker I began to obsessively collect was Andy Milligan. He was a New York frustrated artist.
It's just so frustrating when you're in a supporting role because you only get to express a part of yourself.
Every couple of years - no, that's every couple of weeks - I think I'm going to give up acting.
I'm kind of floating out there as an artist. I'm in a safe place where I can play a girlfriend or a best friend or a mommy or a lawyer, but a huge part of me is unused. I'm classically trained, historically inclined and somewhat revolutionary by nature, so I'm frustrated as an artist.
My dad was always such a frustrated artist. He always worked very hard to support his family, doing a bunch of ridiculous jobs. He wanted to be a painter, but then he also wrote science-fiction novels in his spare time.
Aamir once went behind a rock to cry because his director didn't listen to what he was saying.
