Thanks @mikecane

Read The Lefsetz Letter:

Imagine being in a relationship where you never had to compromise, where you were loved for the way you are. A job where you could tell off the boss. This world doesn’t exist, except in art. That’s the privilege of the artist, an ability to create in his own exact vision. A charge which Trent Reznor embodies, blazing a path in his own unique direction, willing to make mistakes along the way, worried not a whit what some overlord might think. The Lefsetz Letter
