Concept and Creation
The Sander Cohen character was based on several real-world figures. Cohen's last name was influenced by real life entertainer George M. Cohan, who was a notable playwright, composer, lyricist, actor, singer and dancer. His physical appearance, however, was based on the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí. Cohen was described as a "horrible songwriter" by Ken Levine in an interview for CVG.

Famous quotes containing the words concept and/or creation:
“the full analysis of the notions of saying something and understanding what one said inevitably involves a concept which, as I will show in detail, essentially corresponds to the Cartesian idea of thought.”
—Zeno Vendler (b. 1921)
“Today, each artist must undertake to invent himself, a lifelong act of creation that constitutes the essential content of the artist’s work. The meaning of art in our time flows from this function of self-creation. Art is the laboratory for making new men.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
