Often Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.
When a young artist asked me for advice on drawing the human foot, I told him, ‘The first thing you must learn is how to take your shoe off, and then how to take your sock off, then prop your leg up carefully on your other knee, take a piece of paper, and draw your foot.’
Artists don't need criticism, artists need love
Jackie Gleason said that comedy is the most exacting form of dramatic art, because it has an instant critic: laughter.
We must not confuse distortion with innovation; distortion is useless change, art is beneficial change.
Every great artist must begin by learning to draw with the single line, and my advice to young animators is to learn how to live with that razor-sharp instrument or art. An artist who comes to me with eight or ten good drawings of the human figure in simple lines has a good chance of being hired. But I will tell the artist who comes with a bunch of drawings of Bugs Bunny to go back and learn how to draw the human body. An artist who knows that can learn how to draw ANYTHING, including Bugs Bunny.
Every artist has thousands of bad drawings in them and the only way to get rid of them is to draw them out.

It's a bargain. I'd gladly pay him another $808.6 million to have him create another $65 billion in market cap.
It was both a student athlete-oriented and program-oriented decision. We're very satisfied, and we think Bruce fits all of these criteria many times over. Plus, he's just a good, solid individual.
We're in a slower-growth environment and as Larry said, if you can get 10 percent growth from organic growth and 10 percent from acquisition, it adds cash and adds earnings. That's as long as they can make the integration work.
