Every artist at some point had to decide that they didn’t have to justify themselves to the people around them.

Fantastic interview with the wise and wonderful Cheryl Strayed, a.k.a. Dear Sugar, whose Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar is one of the most moving and heartening things you’ll ever read.

Complement with other timeless definitions of art and the artist.

“Having ideas is not as important as developing them. (…) Ideas need air and they need time. (…) They start as a small idea and the art is letting them live and continue to develop them into a big idea.”

How Karen Russel Paid Her Bills...:

I found this great website, “The Days of Yore,” which is made up of artists who “interview other artists about the years before they had money, fame, or road maps to success, and inspires you to find your own.” Apparently, Karen Russell worked in a veterinarian’s office. This is the kind of stuff I love.

Girl Walk All Day

Girl Walk All Day:

Two people very dear to me have forwarded this project. As boingboing describes this film, “A young dancer finds herself disgruntled with her low-paying, mundane waitressing job. One day, she impulsively quits, then takes a ferry to the city. Feeling incredibly inspired by what she sees, Anne dances her way across New York, using the city as her stage.” Watch it and feel inspired.
