Trying to talk somebody out of the stuff that they enjoy in life is like trying to talk them out of their faith or their sexuality. It’s a pointless exercise that can never be anything but acrimonious and will only highlight unnecessary amounts of difference about things that ultimately don’t really matter. Buy the steak you like, worship the god you love, neck with the people that you treasure and don’t worry about the numbers.

People either make things or they don't. Inspiration is a poster.

A lot of the best work I've ever done started out as something completely different because I gave myself permission to have space around my time and expectations.

Creative work, summarized: In the time you set aside each day to work your ass off, ignore anything that makes you consider stopping.

Everything takes more time than you thought, everything costs more money than you thought, and almost everything turns out not quite as cool as you expected.

Personally, it's changed my game - it's how I think now. Can't imagine writing more than a paragraph in anything that doesn't do MMD.

Where you allow your attention to go ultimately says more about you as a human being than anything that you put in your mission statement.
