"Art and anything you feel like you have a mission for is a spiritual process, man. You have to tap into something spiritually in order to work out that much, in order to practice shot that many times, in order to read this book four times to learn this medical term, in order for you to understand your potential, you need to tap into something divine." -G Yamazawa
