Granted, my comment was rather extreme.
Nevertheless, if an artist/musician/writer has an overriding passion for his calling, he/she just gets on with it, lives it and does it, regardless of any financial compensation or recognition within their own lifetimes. Take Van Gogh and Mozart as examples. If their physical needs are met, then fine, if they are not, that doesn't hinder them or dampen their ardour.
