In the end, the effectiveness of our creative process comes down to whether we’re going to whine or do the work.

The best ideas must move you before they can move someone else.

You will not be stuck forever. The trick is to know there are no tricks. There is, in fact, no easy way. There is only the work.

Becoming an artist is about sitting and paying attention to the world that is passing everyone else by

Vision is easy. Ideas are even easier. It's execution that separates the amateurs from the pros.

In the end, the effectiveness of our creative process comes down to whether we’re going to whine or do the work.

Look at the blank pages before you with courage. Now fill them with beauty.
