When You're Afraid Of Someone's Judgment, You

When You're An Artist, Nobody Ever Tells You Or Hits You With The Magic Wand Of Legitimacy. You Have To Hit Your Own Head With Your Own Handmade Wand. And You Feel Stupid Doing It.

If I Simply Do What I've Always Done, It's Never Failed Me.

The World Needs Actual Excitement And Emotion More Than It Needs Cool People.

It's Fine For People To Say, "if You Can't Stand The Heat And If You Can't Stand The Criticism, Then Just Don't Use The Internet"; Unfortunately, That Is Not An Option. The Internet Is Where We Make Our Living And Where We Make Our Work, Especially If We're Independents And We Cannot Afford To Not Engage, Because That's Where Our Business Is Driving From. It's Just Not An Option.

When I Find Myself Having To Share A Meal With Someone Who Simply Wants To Complain About The World, I Almost Feel Myself Wanting To Crawl Out Of My Skin And Just Sort Of Scurry Away. But Being Able To Pick Up On That Stuff And Being Able To Easily Identify The People Walking Towards The Light Instead Of Walking Towards The Darkness, That's A Skill I'm Very, Very Glad To See Growing In Myself.
