I spent the first half of my career learning what to put into my work, and the second half learning what to leave out.

It was great fun, to learn anew. You think you know enough, but you don't. You must open up; let it in. be receptive, admit what you don't know, which few are willing to do. Start from square one. Again!

Strip it all down to essentials and draw the hell out of what's left.

Any 'transmitting' device or applied technical method, which gets in the way of the 'transmission'/message/story, etc., is a negative element, garbling that which ought to be clear and instantly understood, and ought to be simply-stated with economy!

To add to truth distracts from it.

I look for people that are emitting a nice energy about them. Like, they're dancing to the house music or they have a robot puppet aura. But it's hard. People you think are going to be good end up getting really drunk and then who knows what's going to happen.
