Personal experimentation is revealing, and once you get into it, immensely engaging.
Count on big lines to express your ideas.
There is weakness in pretending to know more than you know or in stating less than you know.
It is harder to see than it is to express. The whole value of art rests in the artist's ability to see well into what is before him.
Those who cannot begin do not finish.
Find out what you really like if you can. Find out what is really important to you. Then sing your song. You will have something to sing about and your whole heart will be in the singing.
