“Check other sources before believing mainstream media.Seek the truth.”
“War of words. We are influenced by the western media. But is what we hear the truth or just PR campaigns for governments?”
“Like JJ Abrams, creators just want to tell a story and entertain people. So why only focus in one way of telling it?Give readers another way to connect with your story. Entertainment does not need to be contained in one medium. Think about telling your story in many mediums.”
“Creativity and expression of one’s art can only be measured by the audience to whom it was intended for. Not everyone is going to like my “art” and I don’t really care about that.”
“A true artist creates art because they have a passion and desire to do so.”
“There are rules to the game but I don’t believe that we need to be bound by them. If it feels appropriate to follow the rules, then by all means, follow them. If it feels better to break the rules, be creative and do it.”
