Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.

Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does.

Desire can't be sated, because if it is, the longing disappears and then we've failed, because desire is the state we seek.

The only people who get paid what they're worth are people who don't follow the instruction book, who create art, who are innovative, who work without a map.

Trust is precious and easily wasted, and guessing is a lousy foundation for future progress.

Remember the Bob Dylan rule: it's not just a record, it's a movement.

Earn trust, earn trust, earn trust. Then you can worry about the rest.
