The single most important skill for any artist:
- Know how you feel, even when everyone around you disagrees
- If the room says A and it sounds like B to you, call it B
- Limiting your choices forces better problem solving (ex: only use red and green)
- Infinite options do not lead to better work, constraints do
- Your job is not to be right for everyone, it is to show how you see it
- Compromising your taste for commercial approval defeats the entire purpose
