Peter Gabriel Quote

“I read an article about Martin Amis watching the death of his talent. I wonder how much that is actually true. There is an infinite number of artists who have done interesting work in their later years, like Picasso and Johnny Cash. Maybe not with the same fury and passion and, certainly, quantity–but quantity and quality are different things. And with 60 years of maturity there are ways of approaching material that you don’t have with 20; it goes through a different filtering system. But is the result, by its very nature, less interesting? I don’t think so.”–Peter Gabriel.
