1. David Graham:

   When we played in tournaments, a putt was worth $ 500 or $ 1,000, it wasn't millions. I wouldn't mind finishing second today and getting $ 800,000, i may be upset for a few days( at not winning) but my bank manager would think that's a good deal.

2. Julian Fellowes:

4. Lorraine Loots:

   I wanted to spend an hour a day finishing an artwork every single day, and the only thing I could finish in an hour was something that small, as it became more important to me, I began quitting my other jobs and spending more time on the paintings. Now it's literally 8 hours a day!

5. Artist Rebekah Nastav:

   I mean, I'll spend several months out of the year just doing nothing but working on this painting for this contest, and most of the years, for most of the artists in the contest, you don't--if you don't win, you lose, and it gets hard to take that time and time and time again. Some people enter for 20, 30 years without ever even coming close. i never get sick of painting them. There will be times where I'm about halfway through and I'm kind of sick of that particular painting because I just want it to be done, especially when it's still, like, in, sort of, the ugly stage because my favorite part is just doing the final touches where it actually looks nice. So there's times where I don't really feel like finishing it. But other than that, no, I never get tired of doing it, and I always look forward to picking my nextpainting for the next year and trying to decide how I want to design it.
