''I'm an absolute dummy with a computer...so I can't speak to what's happening today so much. But I do miss the community that we had then. People seemed to work together more in those days. They are more separate these days.... I think you have the tools now that you can do anything. Unfortunately, very often you do everything. Discipline in art is also very important.
