The author discusses a general category of artists called zappas (although he always capitalizes the word) who are super-productive but unpredictably change their genres and styles. Here are some quotes that caught my eye:

And this second- or third-hand quote from Rainer Werner Fassbinder:
“Should you sit around waiting until something’s become a tradition,” he once said, “or shouldn’t you rather roll up your sleeves and get to work developing one?”Here's a picture I've been saving as the perfect non-sequitur:
