genres form from one artist copying another

nothing is original

Every artist gets asked the question,

“Where do you get your ideas?”

The honest artist answers,

“I steal them.”

How does an artist look at the world?

First, you figure out what’s worth stealing, then you move on to the next thing.

That’s about all there is to it.

“The only art I’ll ever study is stuff that I can steal from.”
—David Bowie

The writer Jonathan Lethem has said that when people call something “original,” nine out of ten times they just don’t know the references or the original sources involved.

What a good artist understands is that nothing comes from nowhere. All creative work builds on what came before. Nothing is completely original.

It’s right there in the Bible: “There is nothing new under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9)

“What is originality? Undetected plagiarism.”
—William Ralph Inge

Every new idea is just a mashup or a remix of one or more previous ideas.
