John Alvin on letting go

“You’re hanging onto it too tightly. You’re trying too hard and you are desperately afraid of losing it, and if you’re desperately afraid of losing this, you have already lost it. Learn to get out of the way; don’t interfere with it. Just help it be what it’s already supposed to be. The best thing you can learn as an artist is when to get out of the way.”
