"A freelance life, a life in the arts is sometimes like putting messages in bottles, on a desert island, and hoping that someone will find one of your bottles, and open it, and read it, and put something in a bottle that will wash it’s way back to you. Appreciation, commission, money, or love. And you have to accept that you may put out hundred of things for every bottle that winds up coming back"

– Neil Gaiman, on his University of the Arts Commencement Address (x)
