80% of Broadway productions lose money, a distribution I believe to be truer than not for all art, in both a commercial and qualitative sense.

Making art is hard! More often than not, it won’t be totally successful — whatever that means to you — no matter the metric used.

Which is why my relationship with art is not solely a hunt for the highest quality; I’m interested in experiencing all the art, both good and bad, to add to my conception of the art form.
