Be curious about the world in which you live. Look things up. Chase down every reference. Go deeper than anybody else--that's how you'll get ahead.

Creative people need time to just sit around and do nothing.

You are, in fact, a mashup of what you choose to let into your life. You are the sum of your influences. The German writer Goethe said, "We are shaped and fashioned by what we love."

The people who get what they’re after are very often the ones who just stick around long enough.

Do good work and share it with people.

Don't wait until you know who you are to get started.

Become a documentarian of what you do.
