While working, I suddenly heard a noise and looked up to find Robert Hughes, the art critic of Time magazine, staring at me in disbelief. ‘But you’re Philip Glass! What are you doing here?’ It was obvious that I was installing his dishwasher and I told him I would soon be finished. ‘But you are an artist,’ he protested. I explained that I was an artist but that I was sometimes a plumber as well and that he should go away and let me finish.

Philip Glass, who continued to work as both a plumber and a taxi driver until his late 40s (via saint-jerome)

I’ve always kinda liked Philip Glass and now I like him even more
