George Lucas’ fatherly advice for success in the arts
Remember that ultimately going for the money is 100% wrong.
Going for love of what you’re doing is sort of 60% right.
You can fill that other 40% with a little practical thinking: I also want to make a living at this. I don’t want to starve.

oh, that’s interesting!
assigning 40% to practicality is plenty. we spend way too much time on being “practical” and “realistic”.
