Set up a life you don't need to escape from.
It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. Stop settling for what's good enough and start creating art that matters.
As you've probably discovered, great work makes us uncomfortable.
Do your art. But don't wreck your art if it doesn't lend itself to paying the bills. That would be a tragedy.
Just because something is easy to measure doesn't mean it's important.
The desire that we have to do something that’s never been done before means that the people who are around you generally will not encourage you to do it…if they were encouraging you to do it, then other people would be doing it already and it wouldn’t be unique.
