Pretend to be making something until you actually make something.

The only way to find your voice is to use it. It’s hardwired, built into you. Talk about the things you love. Your voice will follow.

In the end, creativity isn’t just the things we choose to put in, it’s the things we choose to leave out.

What a good artist understands is that nothing comes from nowhere. All creative work builds on what came before. Nothing is completely original.

Keep all your passions in your life.

Dig into almost every overnight success story and you’ll find about a decade’s worth of hard work and perseverance.

That’s the thing you have to understand about the whole process of art (or the work that we do) – you’re only half of the equation. It’s an interaction between you and the person who’s going to experience the work. The person who’s going to experience the work is bringing just as much to it and is just as important as you are.
