Maya Lin
Artist and Architect
I tried anything to try to protect the design. The AIA was wonderful, you know, the arts groups were. But you know, I was sort of like untouchable because everyone didn't quite know how people would react to it. And then, a year later, when like the millionth visitor came to it, everybody wanted to say hello, that sort of thing. And I was a little jaded. My attitude is: I'm glad it's a success. I'm glad people really are moved by it, that was its goal. But you do these things because you personally believe in it. And it was lonely. I mean, it was lonely being in this one testifying room where everyone else was on the other side looking at me like I was trying to deliberately hurt them.

George Lucas
Creator of "Star Wars"
My first six years in the business was hopeless. There's lot of times when you sit and you say, "Why am I doing this? I'll never make it. It's just not going to happen. I should really go out and get a real job, and try to survive," because I'd borrowed money from my parents. I'd borrowed money from my friends. You know, it didn't look like I was ever going to actually be able to pay anybody back. This is part of living. You do have to eat, pay rent and pay back your friends who are supporting you.
