The big win is when you refuse to settle for average or mediocre.

Play a new game, not the older game but faster.

We don't need to be taught to make art, but sometimes we need permission to do so. Following instructions is overrated.

Go ahead and make something for the elites. Not the elites of class or wealth, but the elites of curiosity, passion and taste. Every great thing ever created was created by and for this group.

In contemporary art or movies, it makes perfect sense to be focused on the bleeding edge, on the new idea that's never been previously contemplated. But when we're discussing our goals, our passion and the way we interact with the culture, it seems to me that what works is significantly more important than what's new.

Be genuine. Be remarkable. Be worth connecting with.

You can't control other people, and giving them the power to decide if you will continue to produce good work is foolish.
