Antony Hegarty // "Well, I've always thought of it like: you want to take a walk in a beautiful stream but you know this stream has little piranhas in it. But if you can accept that you have little piranhas attached to your ankles, you know they can never nibble up much further than your knees. There's always going to be people who don't like what you're doing and people who might love what you're doing. If you can find acceptance and know that things aren't perfect, that you make mistakes in public, that you get embarrassed, that you make a fool of yourself and that you take risks – then you just keep going. The day that you don't want to take the risk anymore, the day that you don't want to feel that vulnerability or that twinge of embarrassment, that'll be the day you fuck off and build a farm somewhere."
