”Editing is not painting by numbers. It’s storytelling. Bubbling emotion and infinite inspiration. Editing is passion. You can get addicted to editing like drugs. And worst of all, editing can become your oxygen and no need to tell you what happens if you don’t get that stuff. Just in case if you don’t know. You’ll die because you’re not a fish.”
