Favourite Quotes 26

'You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you're doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle.'

George Lucas

Recently I heard Mario Testino, the fashion photographer, on Desert Island Discs. Apparently for 7 years he rented a flat which was part of a homeless shelter because it was all he could afford. He used to ring potential clients from a payphone - sometimes up to 30 times before he got an appointment! The gulf between that and his present lifestyle is amazing, but incredibly encouraging.
