They are completely apart from other human beings.
Their emotions, all their feelings, their reactions are opposed to so-called "normal" people's sentiments.
They are vulnerable and deeply sensitive people, due to their talents, their super-imagination, their knowledge of hidden influences of which we ordinary human beings are not.
They are not easy to live with - if you choose to live with them at all, if you have the luck to meet them at all.
Writers, composers, painters - also artists like directors, and actors fall into the same category.
They are to be handled with kid-gloves, mentally and physically.
And their reactions go to extremes, compared to non-artistic human beings.
And I was lucky enough to meet and love and work for many, many artists,
I learned, not without heartbreak and pain, to become a better, more intelligent, respectful and devoted person.
No tears were wasted in the process. My tears - not theirs!
