I Don't Really Have A Career Plan.

As Soon As Something Becomes Art I Think You Get Over The Fear

Making Art, Good Art, Is Always A Struggle. It Can Make You Happy When You Pull It Off. There's No Better Feeling. It's Beauteous. But It's Always About Hard Work And Inspiration And Sweat And Good Ideas.

Art Is The Closest You Can Get To Immortality, Though It's A Poor Substitute - You're Working For People Not Yet Born - And People Want It Because It Is Brilliant. It Ends Up In Museums Anyway; The Rich Have To Give It Back To The People, It's Their Only Option. There Are No Pockets In A Shroud.
