“[I]t’s worth recognizing that there is no such thing as an overnight success… I still haven’t drawn the strip as long as it took me to get the job. To endure five years of rejection to get a job requires either a faith in oneself that borders on delusion, or a love of the work. I loved the work.”
– Bill Watterson, in a commencement speech, discussing his career as a cartoonist and creator of Calvin and Hobbes
