My point of view is true quality will ride out all boom-bust cycles.

And as an artist, all I need to do is keep painting. That's not too difficult.

Writers can keep writing. Fantasy always sells, especially when things are down. As I am a writer too, I am strangely OK. Besides, I come from Burma where people continue in conditions lower than in any developed country.

Visual and plastic artists and writers can make art from anything. If things are bad, there are more stories.

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala--I have a volume of her short stories--which I like a great deal.
