WHAT IS THE MOST VALUABLE PIECE OF ARTISTIC ADVICE YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED, AND FROM WHO?
“There is a book by Steven Pressfeld called the War of Art and this book was extremely influential for me. It basically boils down to: The only thing that matters is to work. Everything else is a giant fucking distraction; you just need to work. It’s not always fun, but you need to get up and do it everyday anyway. There is no valid excuse.”
