“I feel if I wanted to be taken seriously I have to study music the same way someone who wants to be a doctor would study medicine.

“I study everything that I do to become better all the time at my craft. The beauty for me about being an artist is that the dream will never die because I'm not obsessed with material things and don't care about the money and don't care about the attention of the public but only the love of my fans. For me it's about keeping the dream alive of how much more devoted, how much more honest, how much better of an artist can I become? That's the only fear that I ever have, that the dream will die.” DreamCareArtistDiesAttentionStudyAliveFansHonestMaterialsDon't CareCraftsObsessedDevotedBeing An ArtistMaterial Things Author:Lady Gaga

“Pretty much at the age of 16, I realized acting wasn't going to be the vocation for me...too political not enough creative control. But I loved the craft and my father wanted me to get a college degree. Seemed natural to study what I loved and Marymount Manhattan has a wonderful theatre program, I highly recommend it! A lot of what I learned there I apply to my comicbook writing and pacing.” WritingEnoughAgeWantedPoliticalFatherNaturalActingCreativeStudyWonderfulCollegeDegreesProgramTheatreI RealizedCraftsVocationManhattanPacingCollege Degree Author:Holly Golightly
“Learning the craft as an actor in Los Angeles is a very hard thing to do, in my opinion. We all come from a certain world and when you start learning the craft, you need material to read/study that you can relate to. We do not have too many Latino writers on the West Coast that I was able to relate to (or at least, I didn't know at the time). I came from the streets, so the most published authors had no relation to my world. As soon as I picked up Pinero & Guirgis, it was all over. It was my world, just in a different location. They cracked me open inside and out.” KnowsWorldNeedsDifferentHardAbleCertainActorsOpinionStudyStreetsMaterialsRelationWestCraftsRelateThings To DoOver ItLos AngelesLocationCoastLatinoCrackedHard ThingsWest Coast Author:Richard Cabral
“Beware of advice. Consider your sources carefully. Look them up. See if you respect what they've made. Get educated. Be informed about who's real and who isn't. Study your craft and your industry, practice all the time, challenge yourself - write things you think you can't, try things you have been told you shouldn't try - leave room for surprises, and learn how to collaborate.” IfsThinkingWritingTryingLooksHas BeensMadeRealChallengesRoomsPracticeStudyAdviceSourceIndustrySurpriseEducatedCraftsChallenge Yourself Author:Karen Walton

“It takes about ten years to make a mature dancer. The training is twofold. There is the study and practice of the craft in order to strengthen the muscular structure of the body. The body is shaped, disciplined, honored, and in time, trusted. The movement become clean, precise, eloquent, truthful. Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather to all who can read it. This might be called the law of the dancer's life, the law which governs its outer aspects” YearsSoulStatesBodyMightLawLyingOrderPracticeStudyMovementTenTrainingAspectStructureCleanWeatherCraftsDancerMatureTruthfulTrustedPreciseHonoredEloquentNever LieBarometer Author:Martha Graham
