I think the biggest lesson is the common one that gets in the way of most of us as artists - there are these messages in society that if you aren't hitting certain metrics, then you're not successful and you're not valid.

I love to ask people questions. I want to know everything about them, even things that may be seemingly socially inappropriate.
