4. Breaking all the rules and still making something that looks great.
5. Making something incredible with very little resources.

7. Knowing everything possible about the type of art you do.
8. Being able to create in different styles when the need arises.

15. Knowing that discipline and hard work are the keys to creating good art.
16. Knowing that sometimes being spontaneous creates better work than careful planning does.

19. Understanding that being what you want is more important that achievments.
