The Charles Bukowski Tapes
24 décembre 2007, 21:12, par Tlön– Dedication without talent is useless. Understand what I mean? Dedication alone is not enough. You can starve and wanna do it… Hey! You know… And how many do that? They starve in the gutters… They don’t make it.
– But you knew you had talent.
– They all think they have! How do you know that you’re the one? You don’t know. It’s a shot in the dark. You take it or you become a normal civilized person from 8 to 5… Get married have children… Christmas together… Here comes gramma : «Hi gramma, come on in… Hi you…». You know… Sure I couldn’t take that, I would have murder myself.
– From The Charles Bukowski Tapes, Barbet Schroeder, 1987.
