I was watching this wonderful interview with Richard Dreyfuss, an actor I simply adore. By all means, do watch it for your own enlightenment, too.
A particular moment that I liked in this interview was
Richard Dreyfuss telling the story about him complimenting a friend about his
acting. The friend replied that it was not him who succeeded in the performance, but the
muse. And then, Richard replied: Fuck the muse! When you’re bad, is it the muse?
I never thought about it this way. When we succeed in
any arts implementation, we tend to give credit to the muse. And I, as a writer,
do that, too. Whenever somebody compliments me about my books or my writing, I
tend to distribute the thanks to the muse.
So learn to take the credit no matter the art you are
representing!
