Market-driven design builds the success of the product's marketing into the product itself.

The opportunity of a lifetime is to pick yourself. Quit waiting to get picked; quit waiting for someone to give you permission; quit waiting for someone to say you are officially qualified... and pick yourself.

Art is frightening. Art isn't pretty. Art isn't painting. Art isn't something you hang on the wall. Art is what we do when we're truly alive. An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artist takes it (all of it, the work, the process, the feedback from those we seek to connect with) personally.

It's human nature to quit when it hurts. But it's that reflex that creates scarcity.

You can't have good ideas unless you're willing to generate a lot of bad ones.

If there isn't a good reason, go home. If there is, then do something ... loud, now, and memorable.

All artists are entrepreneurs. All entrepreneurs are artists.
