“The truth is that creativity is part of human nature. We all have it. Some are just too scared to channel it because of the society and boxes most of us have been put in since we were kids. We all have our own sensitivities and if they call you, just let them out!” Gurman said in a statement. “I want to make sure all young people know – you don’t have to have parents rich, you don’t need an investor, you don’t need to sell your soul to evil big corporations – you can do it on your own. You can change your life with your own creativity and passion.
