"If you are just starting out into the world of miniatures then do everything as best as you can, never cut corners as they will show you up so badly. Do everything you do with a passion and never, ever, expect to earn a profit."
" If you are in it for the money then you will almost definitely fail but if you are in it for the love of it all then you may well make a profit once you have developed enough and been noticed but it will always keep you fascinated and busy if you love what you are doing."
"Practice, practice, practice. Never let yourself get stuck in a rut, don't be satisfied with second best - keep improving all the time."
