About This Quote

You don't make art out of good intentions. When you put something out there, if you really want the world to see the beauty in it, you have to be willing to accept people's criticisms. You have to know that not everyone will be thrilled with what you've created. You have to be able to let them know, even if your heart breaks when someone doesn't like your work.
