Go out and do for others what somebody did for you.
Be willing to apologize. Proper apologies have three parts: 1) What I did was wrong. 2) I'm sorry that I hurt you. 3) How do I make it better? It's the third part that people tend to forget. Apologize when you screw up and focus on other people, not on yourself.
Complaining does not work as a strategy.
I have never thought of writing as hard work, but I have worked hard to find a voice.
It's not how hard you hit. It's how hard you get hit... and keep moving forward.
The fact that fashion goes out of fashion and then comes back into fashion based solely on what a few people somewhere think they can sell, well to me, that’s insanity.
