I think the best advice I would give young artists is to always be working on your craft, because there are so many people out there with a dream similar to yours, a whole lot more than when I started.
Eric BenetI've learned in my older age how to let it go when things don't work out, because something incredible that I don't know about yet is probably right around the corner.
Eric BenetIf you're mourning, cry, scream and purge whatever is going on inside you emotionally. That's part of the process. And keep those that love you very close as you go through it.
Eric BenetI have always tried to keep an honest, age-appropriate line of communication open with my daughter,India, even during the teen years, a painful time of development when they usually shut down, and the last person they want to speak to is a parent. But India would always tell me what was going on, so I really encourage people to be as open with your children as you possibly can.
