A lot of people like structure, so there's definitely a risk with being an artist that a lot of people aren't really willing to take.
Young adults love to play games and they're thirsty for social interaction, but a lot of bar and restaurant experiences are quite unsatisfactory on the social level. What young people need is a place that has the feel of an unhosted party where they find themselves interacting with like-minded strangers.
In theory, I absolutely love to work from home, in all its warmth and comfort, but have reluctantly been forced to confess that it's a total failure.
I've always enjoyed things a little more chaotic than most people would prefer. I feel that I run well in chaos.
When I lost my dad, there was no one there to be the disciplinarian, and we kind of ran amok.
My brother and I had a lot of freedom growing up, and thankfully, we both turned out OK.
I don't work well outside the lines; my report card once read, 'doesn't play well with others.'
