Robert De Niro:

“You weren’t just following dreams, you were reaching for your destiny. You’re a dancer, a singer, a choreographer, musician, a filmmaker, a writer, a photographer, a director, a producer, an actor, an artist. Yeah, you’re f**ked.”

Any talent that the rest of the world doesn't understand will be met with resistance. That's why we have a saying, "F**k you pay me". It used to be called knowledge work and payed very well because the people who needed that work done hadn't a clue what to ask for. They just wrote the check and were glad when the work was finished. But today everyone thinks they know how this is done. News flash they don't. Mr De Niro is right. One of my hardest jobs is convincing others that I am worth every penny.
