Neil Gaiman gives the 2012 commencement address at The University of the Arts.
The urge, starting out, is to copy. And that's not a bad
thing. Most of us only find our own voices after we've sounded like a lot of
other people. But the one thing that you have that nobody else has is you.
Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and
play and dance and live as only you can.
The moment that you feel that, just possibly, you're walking
down the street naked, exposing too much of your heart and your mind and what
exists on the inside, showing too much of yourself. That's the moment you may
be starting to get it right.
