I see things differently when I'm focused on opening doors for other people, and more often than not, my doors are opened as well.

You get to keep making art as long as you are willing to make the choices that let you make your art.

There's nothing wrong with having a plan. Plans are great. But missions are better. Missions survive when plans fail, and plans almost always fail.

Choices lead to habits. Habits become talents. Talents are labeled gifts. You’re not born this way, you get this way.

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

The object isn't to be perfect. The goal isn't to hold back until you've created something beyond reproach. I believe the opposite is true. Our birthright is to fail and to fail often, but to fail in search of something bigger than we can imagine. To do anything else is to waste it all.

Art...is the intentional act of using your humanity to create a change in another person...Passion is caring enough about your art that you will do almost anything to give it away, to make it a gift, to change people.
