You'd have to ask Mr. Glass (the source of the quote) about that. I've only met a handful of non-US artists. My impression is that he meant that since there is more support for the arts in Europe (financial and otherwise), that American artists are forced to develop a stronger self-reliance. And he's speaking as a man who drove a cab and delivered washing machines to make ends meet until he was 41, six years after "Einstein On The Beach". Me, I just think that American artists are like, way cuter than everyone else.
