There is always, in the fine arts, a physical interface between the artist's esthetic vision and the material result he seeks. The interface may be the application of brush to canvas, chisel to marble, bow to string... It may be the control of voice in song or the control of body in dance. It is the mastery of the interface that comprises the artistry; it is what constitutes the 'art' in fine art.

The difference between education and know-how is that one you pay for, the other you charge for.

Seize every opportunity along the way, for how sad it would be if the road you chose became the road not taken.
