Years of living in the hope that what you'll get will be better than what you have. Years of looking and feeling worse in the hope that you might look better.

People had been working for so many years to make the world a safe organized place. Nobody realized how boring it would become.

The first step - especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, but not money - the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.

We've spent so much time judging what other people created that we've created very, very little of our own.

A good story should make you laugh, and a moment later break your heart.

When we don't know who to hate, we hate ourselves.

As an artist you organize your life so that you get a chance to paint, a window of time, but that's no guarantee you'll create anything worth all your effort. You're always haunt by the idea you're wasting your life.
