The artist is a collector. Not a hoarder, mind you, there's a difference: Hoarders collect indiscriminately, artists collect selectively. They only collect things that they really love.

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

There's a balance between what you want to give the world and what it needs. If you're lucky, your work is in the middle.

It's in the act of making things that we figure out who we are.

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

The computer brings out the uptight perfectionist in us - we start editing ideas before we have them.

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.
