I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win - if you don't, you won't.
“Remember that you are needed. There is at least one important work to be done that will not be done unless you do it.”
“I think there is an element of nihilism about, but I don't think most artists feel their work is meaningless.”
