The Devil’s Advocate
- When you’re an artist, the main thing that industry is to you is an investor offering scale. And an investor expects returns. Maybe it’s a financial return, maybe it’s emotional, but either way, they’ll want a return. The question then, are you happy being a stock in someone’s portfolio?

- “I was waiting for something extraordinary to happen, but as the years wasted on nothing ever did unless I caused it.” – Charles Bukowski
