“What’s all this add up to? Well, to me it means get out of your own way. In the world we’re living in, if you don’t get something made and in front of an audience there finally no one else to blame but the person in the mirror. If your talented, don’t wait for someone else to tell you so. Go out there, find your own audience. They’ll tell you what they think, and after all, aren’t they more important than Viacom, or DC Comics, or Random House? You’ll have satisfaction in doing what you think is right, and if you hit the bull’s eye you’ll make some money too.”

Some really nice thoughts from Fred on this subject, and a great lesson for everyone; so many on the success stories I see on Tumblr are people who stopped waiting for permission and just did something great.
