I don’t think the shortage of artists has much to do with the innate ability to create or initiate. I think it has to do with believing that it’s possible and acceptable for you to do it. We’ve had these doors open wide for only a decade or so, and most people have been brainwashed into believing that their job is to copyedit the world, not to design it.

What are you working on? If someone asks you that, are you excited to tell them the answer? If you're not, you're wasting away.

Ideas don't get smaller when they're shared, they get bigger.

I'm not a psychopath-I'm wearing a tie!

Seeing, despite the name, isn’t merely visual.

One bad review doesn't ruin my day because I realize what a badge of honor it is to get a bit of criticism at all.

If you demand that everything that happens be something you are adequately prepared for, I wonder if you’ve chosen never to leap in ways that we need you to leap. Once we embrace this chasm, then for the things for which we can never be prepared, we are of course, always prepared.
