A sketch book freezes time. It is an instantaneous form of meditation focusing us on the worth of every passing moment.

When I went in, my editor said, ‘I hope you don’t think you’re a writer.’ And I said, ‘I hope you don’t think I’m a journalist.’ And, uh, turned out we were both right.

When you are feeling too dull and too domesticated get on a horse, sit tall in the saddle, and for a moment live in a world that feels like risk and adventure.

In creativity, as in running, you have to start where you are.

Technology teaches passivity. Absorbed in our devices - at any age - we are absorbed in someone elses perspective.

As you explore your inner world, your outer world will come more sharply into focus. As you face your imagined barriers, you will encounter real ones, as well.

In a sense, as we are creative beings, our lives become our work of art.
