Art Quote by Brian Michael Bendis

“In my mind jealousy would come with seeing people do something that makes it all look extremely easy when it's not, like artists who can draw better than I can. In college, I was different. I was so hungry that anyone else who was published - I couldn't deal with it.” quote by Brian Michael Bendis
