DM: From one artist to another, how does an artist like you make their passion a reality.

JC: Just do it. I once heard QB Steve Young say --strange that I mention him, as I am in Utah. His great grandfather was Bringham Young (as in the Bringham Young University), a big deal here in Salt Lake City, the Mormon stuff really is in this thin air -- anyway, he said something on a NFL films show once like, "Along a path there are many exits out, and you kind of have to keep focusing forward in a real direction and avoid the distractions that can pull you off it." So I kind of try to be aware of some of the choices I make, and ask, "Are they just easy exits or a constructive turn?" One clear example is how a lot people resist doing a project unless they have a large budget. To me if you need to do it, just do it and keep looking for solutions and not problems.
