Hardly any human being is capable of pursuing two professions or two arts rightly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Making a living in the arts, though, creates so many jobs for other people.
One man cannot practice many arts with success.
All of those art-based fields are similar in that they're all hard to make a living in and they all require an intense amount of training and discipline.
The arts don't exist in isolation.
I think the problem with the arts in America is how unimportant it seems to be in our educational system.
They say the average person can't make a living in art... but if you tell me there's something I can't do, that's what I have to do.
I never want to discourage anyone who chooses the arts as a path because it's hard enough to make it in this business or even get ahead.
The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.
The best thing that can happen to people entering creative professions is the dwindling of all other possibilities.
I am convinced that no one is fully educated without a full grounding in the arts.
