“I think that's an important lesson for young people who want to be artists: You have to find someone who believes in you and who will help you find that time where you don't have to think about a job but just making work.

Basically, you have to be an obsessive crazy person.” PeopleIfsWayNeedsPersonsLightAbleAbilityCrazyCamerasObsessiveAbility To SeeCrazy Person Author:Ryan McGinley
