    Talent, or training?

    Tons of people have talent, and Neil's one of them. But there are countless talented failures.

    It's the persistence that really matters.

    Arts degree with any other fields is very dangerous combination.

    I wish I had been given this advice 45 years ago, often the simplest of words hold the greatest of wisdom. I am touched by his insight and though I have but few career years left, Mr. Gaiman inspires me to go forward and continue to make good art...and I shall...thank you sir...b
