Never assume the inferior position in a relationship. People only see you as inferior when you see yourself that way. The creative business is full of collaborations. If you’re a painter, somebody needs to photograph your work; if you’re a photographer, somebody will have to design your visual identity. You’ll meet many talented people, and quite a few famous ones. Never be too impressed - just stand by your own work. People who have recently become famous think they’re the center of the universe. Avoid them. After a while you become used to your lifestyle and don’t think much of it. Don’t think much of it from the beginning.
