To a musician: Just listen to that haunting melody. Anyone who can turn a piece of wood and a bundle of strings into something so magical can say anything they want. Plus, they’ll probably never talk in the first place.
To a painter: Stop talking about why you used that shade of red and stay within the lines.
To an actor: Stop talking about your character’s motivation and read your lines.
To a sculptor: Stop talking about body shapes, sit on that stool, and let Patrick Swayze give you a hug.
To a director: Stop talking about mise-en-scène and watch the cinematographer press “record.”
To a cinematographer: Stop talking about your lighting choices and press “record.”
To a singer: Stop talking about your musical training, press “play,” and start moving your lips
To a photographer: Stop talking about composition and choose an Instagram filter.
To a writer: Stop talking about why you became a writer and start cutting and pasting.
