Kodachrome Quote
Matt Ryder: Are you ever happy, Ben?
Ben: Let me tell you something. Happiness is bullshit. It's the great myth of the late 20th century. You think Picasso was happy? You think Hemingway was? Hendrix? They were miserable shits. No art worth a damn was ever created out of happiness. I can tell you that. Ambition, narcissism, sex, rage. Those are the engines that drive every great artist, every great man. A hole that can't be filled. That's why we're all such miserable assholes.
Matt Ryder: So you know you're a miserable asshole.
Ben: What? Do you think I'm an idiot? Of course I know.
