You're the one who chose to go into the arts, man, the last wasted six years of your life (or the last wasted year-and-a-half of mine!) are your responsibility. We knew what we were getting into... a job field that runs mostly on how ya look, who ya know and luck. You're probably gonna fail and even if you succeed, you're gonna take years of being told you're a loser who needs a real job.
To blame one of the few guys out there who got in by flat-out laying his financial future on the line for your woes is a combination of ironic and tacky that could only be called "iracky".
No golden ticket was extended, a famous-guy to fan pleasantry was exchanged.
Get over it... and if you pour this much obsession into actually seeing a project through to the end? You'll do more than fine.
