Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman:
"I think that the punk ethos of you don't need anything, you just need to do it and figure out what you're doing as you go, has probably informed everything I've done since. It seemed a pretty sensible and refreshing idea at the time. Likewise the idea that you ought to be enjoying what you're doing and be doing it because you think it's cool and fun. The idea that mistakes are part of what make things interesting, and it's probably wisest to get it right and move on and not spend the rest of your life polishing it."

right on...
when I try to explain to people that the punk aesthetic informs pretty much everything I do, this is a large part of what I am talking about...
