Quote, unquote: Leanne Shapton on things paying off

"I've taken a lot of risks. Cold calls. Expecting to be rejected a lot... I can be quite reckless, but weirdly these things have paid off."

-- former Saturday Night and National Post art director Leanne Shapton (now art director for the New York Times' op-ed page) quoted in a glowing profile in the Toronto Sunday Star. (In it, she talks about her recently published book that was optioned for film by Brad Pitt. And how she comes to be wearing Truman Capote's coat. And how she still has an inferiority complex about not finishing university. And so on.)
