That lack of understanding in today's entertainment business makes it hard for them who make a living from this industry (not as a hobby). "Art industry" itself felt so wrong in so many ways. That just describes the demand of being productive to produce as much as possible art products (music, film, paintings, poems). That would feel just like an office work but two times harder because you get not only brain work out of yourself but also feelings. And it's not something you can force.
One article says " we make art because there's something in ourselves that need to be gotten out (express). Otherwise, that something would become a poison inside. A beautiful art often comes from pain and suffer. That makes people wonder why most artist is a complex person"
"Art is not about how good you are but rather how much you love doing it"
