For it is true, I think, that there is a correlation between what might be described as the depth of an artist’s morality and the depth at which that person can function artistically. Which isn’t to make a claim about what that morality will produce in the outward conduct or personal life of any particular artist, but only to say that, in the arena where an artist practices or works, an expanded sense of the moral substance of reality can only be advantageous to them.
