Confessions of a Texan in Tokyo Quotes

“Before I write or draw something, I need to be able to defend it to the Ends of the Earth. And, of course, be able to stomach the inevitable criticism from both sides of any argument. I find "You're being too soft on issue X" and "You're being WAY too hard on issue X" in the same comments section. This kills me because I want to create beautiful things. I love being creative. I love being able to spend all day drawing comics in my sketchbook, snuggled up on the couch writing articles, and shooting videos while exploring Tokyo... But don't want to be vulnerable. Too bad I haven't found a way to have one without the other.”
― Grace Buchele Mineta, Confessions of a Texan in Tokyo

“No matter what you do, no matter where you live, and no matter who you choose to spend your time with, you will have bad days. But those bad days help you appreciate the good ones.”
― Grace Buchele Mineta, Confessions of a Texan in Tokyo
