An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artist takes it personally.

Our best work can't possibly appeal to the average masses, only our average work can. Finding the humility to happily walk away from those that don't get it unlocks our ability to do great work.

Being aware of your fear is smart. Overcoming it is the mark of a successful person.

Isn't the drawing board the place where all the best work happens? It's not a bad thing to go back there. It's the entire point.

The way to get unstuck is to start down the wrong path, right now.
