On (trying) to be an artist as a Rice student

First off, I know that I’m never going to be rich. If I wanted to be famous, I would have auditioned for “The Bachelor” — it’s way more likely that I will be chosen to be the next Corinne than that a movie that I create will be funded by a major film studio. Most artists would probably tell you the same thing. We don’t do art for the recognition; we do it because we love the work, and we’re ready to work, constantly, for the rest of our lives.
