John Milius' quote speaks to the insecurities that many artists feel. It is a common belief among imaginative people that they are unsatisfactory or that their work is not worthy of recognition. This sensation of insufficiency can be paralyzing and can avoid artists from producing or pursuing their craft. It is a tip that even the most gifted and effective artists can seem like scams. It is a tip that even if we feel like frauds, we need to still pursue our passions and produce art. It is a tip that we should not let our insecurities stop us from developing and expressing ourselves. It is a suggestion that we should not let our worries of failure or inadequacy prevent us from pursuing our dreams.
