Neil Gaiman gives better advice to artists than anyone has ever given.  

My favorite part is where he says that every time he’s done a project “just for the money,” it’s backfired. To paraphrase: if you do something just for the money and it doesn’t work out, you’re left with nothing. If you do work you want to do, if the money doesn’t come at least you’re left with the work.

Neil Gaiman to the University of the Arts Class of 2012 

… or a meditation on the limits of creativity, which are, of course, nonexistent.

People who know the rules know what is possible and what is impossible. You do not and you should not. The rules of what is possible and impossible were made by people who have not tested the bounds of possible by going beyond them - and you can.
