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. It’s an interaction between you and the person who’s going to experience the work. The person who’s going to experience the work is bringing just as much to it and is just as important as you are.

You're ready. Start making stuff.

Don't worry about doing research. Just search.

Do good work and share it with people.

Art that only comes from the head isn't any good. Watch any good musician and you'll see what I mean.

So go on, get angry. But keep your mouth shut and go do your work.

You are, in fact, a mashup of what you choose to let into your life. You are the sum of your influences. The German writer Goethe said, "We are shaped and fashioned by what we love."
