We are too focused on avoiding criticism and not enough on making a difference.

Art is not in the ...eye of the beholder. It's in the soul of the artist.

No one has ever built a statue to a critic, it's true. On the other hand, it's only the people with statues that get pooped on by birds flying by.

Art isn't only a painting. Art is anything that's creative, passionate, and personal. And great art resonates with the viewer, not only with the creator.

We long to connect, all of us. We long to be noticed, to be cared for, to matter. Generosity is the invisible salve on our wound of loneliness, one that benefits both sides, over and over again.

The best favors are worth doing for the doing, not because we'll ever get paid back appropriately.

Be bold, make mistakes, learn a lesson, and fix what doesn't work.
