"It takes skill to bring something you've imagined into the world: to use words to create believable lives, to select the colors and textures of paint to represent a haystack at sunset, to combine ingredients to make a flavorful dish. Â No one is born with that skill. Â It is developed through exercise, through repitition, through a blend of learning and reflection that's both painstaking and rewarding. Â And it takes time. . . . If art is the bridge between what you see in your mind and what the world sees, then skill is how you build that bridge."

-- Twyla Tharp
