Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms.

Here's one from me: 'You have to be aware that everyone else is thinking far too hard about themselves to be thinking about you, whoever you are.' If you want it, you can have it. Once you know that, you can be free.

The goal in life is to be solid, whereas the way that life works is totally fluid, so you can never actually achieve that goal.

I used to believe I was going to live forever. And then you suddenly become aware that you're not.

I've never learned to drive because I get lots of ideas when I'm a passenger in a car. I love to get in a car with a driver and just think and work things out.

Artists are like everybody else.

For artists it's a lot easier to make art in bad times than it is in good times. When you've got no money it's easy to just drink your way through it and make great art. But if you're making lots of money it can be very problematic.
