It's Fatal to Be Safe in the Arts

It is fatal to be safe in the pursuit of the arts…. You look at who and what you are, where and how you live, where and how you work, and you see that it needs to either be reformed or refined or merely appreciated. You work for something else, not merely for yourself. You struggle for something bigger and greater than yourself, and far more necessary. It cannot merely be a career, a need-filler, a dream realized. It is a calling.
