“When we introduce ourselves to new people, we shouldn't be saying "to earn money I do this". Instead, we have to present ourselves as musicians, photographers, painters, models and muses, anything we are good at. What we do to earn money is not of the others' goddamn business, we are not our job, and the day we become our job, we die inside. If there is passion in our job, related to our arts or not, it's because we are passionate people. That's the only thing that who is interested in our life may need to learn about us. I never ask people what they do for living, I ask them what they love and what keeps them alive. What you buy will go, what you create will stay. And as your art is within you, you will stay.”
