When you do everything that you can, sometimes even more than you thought you could, you got to walk away knowing you fought the good fight. and tomorrow you'll fight another one... God, I so much want to begin to live again.
No but seriously, what if ALL artists collectively began to insist on a living wage? Like, come on, we have titans of the industry out of work and unable to pay medical bills. Would the world explode if we got decent pay for once? Artists shouldn't starve for their craft.

Lock in, focus and do not get distracted.
