I think one’s art goes as far and as deep as one’s love goes.

不管你是年轻还是年老，我还是会做我自己。

When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.

Read, read, read. Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.
