“For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. [...] A lot of people never get past this phase; they quit. [...] If you are just starting out or are still in this phase, you gotta know that it’s normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. [...] It’s only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions.”
