    How do you define creative or artistic success?

    Quote by Gina Gibney: I think that success is having a deeply rooted, relentless dedication to what you believe in--dedication that can weather difficulties, indecision, rejection. That, coupled with a kind of agility and openness to change at any moment, to redefine and even reinvent youself. I think those things combined, whatever the outcome, to me defines success."
