people who ask that question, cant understand that these things are what keep you sane. i mean thats how i viewed it. also its not just having fun, it is a need. you need to do these things. im certain you feel the same.
if i knew, or felt that i was a big talent, i might let myself be tempted to say fuck it all, i ll try my luck with art.
bt nevermind that.
there is also the belief that when you are an artist with day job, the hard time you have to find time to do your art, is what makes it sweet and worth it and that it might play some role for you making good art.
i understand this, but i m not sure if its true. it might vary, depending on the person.
