Being an artist

I just watched this wonderful TED talk on creativity and how to be good at art, whether it's painting, drawing, dancing, storytelling or acting. I found it hard to watch because it's subtitled, but it was well worth it for the message.

If you want to be an artist, just do it. There's no need to ask "Why?" or "What for?" It's not for any reason. We do it because it's part of what makes us feel alive.
