Paul Gauguin once said: "I am a great artist and I know it. The reason I am great is because of all the suffering I have done." Many of the greatest artists of our time were sick, troubled, and/or suffered greatly. Some would even go as far as to say that good art needs suffering in order to exist. What role does your own suffering play in your creative process, and do you find you create better when you are emotionally hurting?
