6:55 - "I don't know if I want to be famous; I want to make my living from this!"

10:37 - The importance of getting clear on what you really want for yourself, and why it doesn't work to be a museum artist and a self-represented artist. "There's one thing that's constant as a professional artist, and that's change."
