Quote by Lady Gaga

Unless I am both capable of and willing to reopen the wound every time I write a song, if I choose to not look inside myself to write music, I'm really not worth being called an artist at all.

Unless I am both capable of and willing to reopen the wound

Summary

This quote highlights the essence of being a true artist. It suggests that a songwriter must possess the ability and willingness to delve into their own emotional wounds in order to create meaningful music. Without this introspection and vulnerability, the artist fails to connect authentically with their audience and lacks the artistic depth that defines them. It emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and personal exploration as fundamental elements of artistic expression.
