Kurt Sutter of 'Sons of Anarchy;' Some Pixar Inspiration

Kurt Sutter's FX series, Sons of Anarchy, is about an outlaw biker gang. Now in its fourth season, the premiere episode was the most watched FX show in that network's 14-year history. Sutter is sort of a Hollywood outlaw himself. He's brutally honest in a way that most people in the TV business dare not be. His popular blog and twitter feed are often full of obscenity laced observations and reflections on what it's truly like to work in Hollywood. He talks with us about how his tweeting reached a crescendo in August and even he felt he need to set a limit on himself. He shut it down for a bit but now he's back.

Austin Madison reads a letter he contributed to the blog, Animators Letters Project. (See his letter below.) When taking on a creative endeavor he stresses the value of persistence.
