Directing Subtext P.3

What does "Good artist borrow, great artists steal" mean to you? How can meaning and subtext play into this?

A great artist would "steal: from another artist by putting in their own interpretation in order to create something that is entirely theirs. In the end, art is a remix of what is already there. One's own interpretation changes what that art means. By adding these references to other works of art, it creates a subtext that may allude to the subtext of the original piece of art. Stealing art from something thatis relevant for your own art will ultimately enrich the art itself.
