They looked like they were having so much fun. It was the first time that it dawned on me that they were getting paid to make art. Most adults I knew at the time hated their jobs. I thought what a gift to be able to love what you do. You can make a living and enjoy it? I can wake up in the morning and collaborate with others to tell a story and experience the world in the process? Sold! I never looked back from there.
