More Thoughts on Stan...
Stan Winston was an artist of the highest caliber. I ran across something he said, that I'll quote because it applies to many artists and sums up, in my own context, just how I live:
"There's nothing more important to me in my life than my family, and nothing will ever take over. I believe that's why the work shows as well as it is because my work is not a sacrifice. My work is a joy. I'm not sacrificing my family for my work. I go in and I love what I do. I love nothing more than my family, and now grand kids."-Stan Winston
This says so much. To any artists "work" should never ever be a "sacrifice" but joy. If you put "sacrifice" into something it'll look it-pained and stressed. If you put JOY into it, it will look effortless and fun. And it also says that we have to have the best of both worlds-family, friends, and the joy we create. Because all of that feeds your soul.
