Although some people have a hard time taking artists seriously, when
I'm up at 3am for the third day in a row trying to make a deadline, I
think they can't pay me enough! We are under a lot of pressure to
create on the spot. It stops becoming this sort of ethereal art making
experience and more of a, well, job. I guess for me also, I need to
somehow justify spending nearly a hundred grand on art school!
