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

We're always being told 'find your voice.' When I was younger, I never really knew what this meant. I used to worry a lot about voice, wondering if I had my own. But now I realize that 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.

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

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

It sounds a little extreme, but in this day and age, if your work isn't online, it doesn't exist.

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

Creative people need time to just sit around and do nothing.
