Quote by Mary Jo Hoffman

“Dailiness, I've come to believe, is more important than training or education or workshops or mentorship or MFAs. You don't get better at what you are told to do, or shown how to do, or educated to do. You get better at what you actually do, over and over.”

I’m all for artificiality, is what I’m saying. It’s what humans bring to the table.”
