If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting.
I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old - or being young, for that matter.
You can't just be talented: You have to be terribly smart and energetic and ruthless. You also have to become necessary to people, by working hard and well and bringing more than your bones and your skin to the project. Don't just show up. Transform the work, yourself, and everybody around you. Be needed. Be interesting. Be something no one else can be--and consistently.
Drive on. We'll sweep up the blood later!
The most minor gifts and not a very high class way to earn a living. After all, Shirley Temple could do it at the age of four.

Only the really plain people know about love-the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.
It's life, isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.
The noise is so loud that birds, waves, and people are silenced by the frantic roar of morons screaming and tearing back and forth, back and forth, devastating the peace of a quiet day at the beach and the joy of fellow boatmen on the water.
If you obey all of the rules, you miss all of the fun.
