How do you justify getting paid for what you do?
(more questions)

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!
