That is the miracle of this book." -Kerry Washington "Brilliant. . . . A treasure for anyone contemplating a career in the arts-and, frankly, for anyone already in the midst of one." -Dawn Raffel "A motivating example for all of us." -Mary Ellen Mark "Her advice is as relevant to a youngster just beginning to explore artistic options as it is to adults already accomplished in their art." ---Esmeralda Santiago
