Quote. . . if you make something "great", it should happen more or less by accident. Get consistent at making stories you're pleased with. Build a joyful, healthy, positive relationship with art. . . . By regularly shooting for "good" . . . you'll be great without even trying.

Quote. . . have radical pride in your work, even when the ugly systems that shape our lives tell you your stories are worthless.
