The real work of the artist
is a way of being in the world.”― Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being

How to survive the weight of an entire industry trying to convince you that you're inadequate
'Here’s how large they are: if you’ve ever had a child, you know that kids get sick a lot. And at some point the kid’s pediatrician is gonna hand you something that looks like a pill except it’s enormous. And you ask them how the hell are you gonna get a baby to swallow it and the doctor looks at you like the idiot you are and says “they go in the ass.” That’s how large these Google buttons are. They go in the ass.'
