People who are more excited about success than doing the thing they want to be successful at are the type of people who think embarrassing yourself on reality television is a good idea.
Which is really a lot of the weird tangle of emotions with art. I think everyone who wants to make stuff desperately wants to be successful - but ultimately everyone who's doing art wants to make stuff, and making stuff doesn't always synch up with being successful.
