I have enough grit and angst in my real life, I need the "pretty and fluff" just to keep me afloat.<br /><br />I love that old movie "Sullivan's Travels" with Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake. He's a film director who is being forced to make comedies by the studio when he really wants to make socially relevant dramas. He and Veronica Lake travel undercover across a depression era countryside. After surviving their journey, McCrea realizes the best social contribution, was to make people laugh with his movies, when they are down and out and faced with hardships.<br /><br />And the great thing about being an artist or a writer, is that we can continue to work on our craft until we are really old.
