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.

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.

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

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.

Art that only comes from the head isn't any good. Watch any good musician and you'll see what I mean.

Eat breakfast. Do some push-ups. Go for long walks. Get plenty of sleep.

The more good ideas you collect, the more you can choose from to be influenced by.
