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.

The only way to find your voice is to use it

Google everything. I mean everything. Google your dreams, Google your problems. Don’t ask a question before you Google it. You’ll either find the answer or you’ll come up with a better question.

Unless you are actually a ninja, a guru, or a rock star, don't ever use any of those terms in your bio. Ever.

Nothing is more paralyzing than the idea of limitless possibilities.

Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use – do the work you want to see done.

If you want fans, you have to be a fan first.
