to be an artist you must experience pain and lonliness

that's right. the point is, whenever you feel good, your energiesy are directed outwardly. your spirit recognizes good influences in external happenings and starts an exchange with the exterior world, so that it becomes impossible to direct and concentrate your creativity to a product of art. and if you have company, it's even worse. you are sacrifizing yourself, and giving and sharing your spirit with others. when you give (parto of) yourself away, once again you don't have enough energy left to create.

on the opposite, when you feel pain you tend to turn more and more into yourself, you accumulate energy inside, and then you have to find a way to expose it. it can be a 70-minute talk with your best friend, it can be a cry, it can be a work of art. but you must be alone to direct all of this energy where you aim to, and not to share it with the exterior.

this was the thought of a girl i had the fortune to meet, i do believe she got the point.
