QUOTE : Creativity is like a casino. Every time an artist takes to their calling, it's a gamble. Smiles can come. Sighs can come. Controversy can come. Expanding one's own vision can come in the blink of an eye or flicker of a voice. Artists are alchemists of sight, sound, touch and grabbing the balls of an audience. They mix sweet, sour, spice, joy, pain, pleasure and adversity in varied cauldrons. In the end, these men and women are the wizards of humanity's primal elixir. There is love. There is hate. There are scattered nerves splashed upon canvas, paper, screen, film. Jackpot is the reflection in our own souls."
