That’s the thing you have to understand about the whole process of art (or the work that we do) – you’re only half of the equation.

You’re only going to be as good as the stuff you surround yourself with.

The people who get what they’re after are very often the ones who just stick around long enough.

If I'd waited to know who I was or what I was about before I started "being creative," well, I'd still be sitting around trying to figure myself out instead of making things. In my experience, it's in the act of making things and doing our work that we figure out who we are.
