Quote #10
MILO: Look, you're a painter, and a good one. I happen to have a little drive. That's a good combination. Besides, you have to face the critics some time.
Milo's spot-on here. Jerry's a talented dude, but he lacks drive. If he wants to find success, he needs to have a fire lit under his artistic butt—and he has to suck it up and deal with criticism. When you're an artist, that's part of the gig.
