Meak's World is the world I created when I was 12, when I got into the industry. I said, 'I have to do it myself. It's not going to be given to me. It has to be Meak's World.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Through art, you create your own world.
Sometimes you have to be okay with what you are to the world, where you are in the world, and make the most of it.
When you are a young person, the world is yours. You can do the impossible.
Everything I've done has always been my own made up world with its own rules and its own made up stories.
When you succeed at creating your own world, whether it's in any realm - like Tolkien was able to do - and people are able to enter that world, it's a special thing.
I had to figure out how to bring the world into my work.
I'm not very good at creating worlds. I prefer to write about the world as it is.
My own career reflects a strange dichotomy between the world we've long known and the world that will become.
As an organizer, I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be. That we accept the world as it is does not in any sense weaken our desire to change it into what we believe it should be - it is necessary to begin where the world is if we are going to change it to what we think it should be. That means working in the system.
My parents taught me I could be anything in the world I wanted to be.
