[Basquiat & Bennie Dalmau]
Hey Bennie, man, how long you think it takes to get famous?
For a musician or a painter?
Whatever, famous
Four years. Six to get rich. First you're gonna have to dress right, you know. Then you're gonna have to hang out with famous people, you know
Make friends with the right blonde people, go to the right parties, yeah? Social life
Then you gotta do your work all the time, and you're not doing that
But I'm talking about the same kind of work, the same style, so people recognize you and don't get confused, you know?
Then once you're famous, airborn, you know, you gotta keep doing it in the same way even after it's boring, unless you want people to get mad at you
Which they will anyway
