Lois McMaster BujoldI often joke with my audiences that I make most of my income on a ski pole. People smile but they get my point. You need to make time for your genius to flow.

Frank HerbertI live in East Hollywood which is sort of the end of the grit, butting up against Silverlake and Los Feliz which are the refined gentrified hipster zones, which I tend to appreciate when I need to get coffee, but I like living in the grit. I like feeling separate from that elitist civilization in some way, even though I don't really "belong" in the grit either.
