I need to be happy. I need to set that example for my daughter so that she goes into something she loves, not because other people want her to do something. It's a good feeling, it's freeing.

If you want to explore, go do it. If you want to try different types of art, do it.
A career is a progression of ups and downs, how you deal with them and how you bounce back.
You just keep going. Nothing that isn't beautiful is worth slowing down for.
You have to be uncomfortable in order to be successful, in some ways. Because if you stay in your comfort zone, you would never do the things that you need to do.
