"I cannot stress enough how imperative it is to encourage children, even if they stink. I wasn't good, I've seen my drawings from when I was little and despite my mom's strong opinions, I think they look like a kid's drawing. I'm not going to get down on myself, but they certainly weren't those of a prodigy by any means. She told me, "You are an artist." She didn't try to turn me into a prodigy, she just encouraged me and I was very lucky to get that."
