Amateurs know that contributing something is better than contributing nothing.

Show your work, and when the right people show up, pay close attention to them, because they'll have a lot to show you.

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

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

You can’t be content with mastery; you have to push yourself to become a student again.

You’re only going to be as good as the stuff you surround yourself with.

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