“In order to build a career and to be successful, one has to be determined. One has to be ambitious. I much prefer to drink coffee, listen to music and to paint when I feel like it.”

“I never felt the need to do what everyone else did. And I wasn’t troubled by the fact that other people were doing other things.”
