When you begin any new art it’s easy because nobody is looking. There is no pressure from the audience. But it’s also tricky and challenging because nobody cares about you or your work. To breakthrough, you have to be very good and very unique.

When you finally get some attention, it’s easy because radical uniqueness doesn’t matter as much–you just doing something makes it unique! But it’s still complicated and challenging because you have constant pressure to live up to the best thing you’ve ever done. That is the mark to which the audience will hold you.

It never gets easy, but certain things get easier while other things become more difficult. To sustain success beyond the initial seed, you must be flexible, humble, and always looking forward.
