Combine that with the fact that the successful ones have had to be doggedly determined not to let others deter them in their pursuit of their 'vision', and u get anti-social sonsabitches! Take Kinny Ruzick for example. Look in the dick-tionary under sociopath, and there's a shot of the Ruzic. Not a psychopath, mind you, but textbook sociopath...and that has allowed him to become a great artist. I think the same is true for visual artists, actors musicians...hell even the lowest form of artists, carvers.
