I intentionally abandoned the hard stuff early on because not only do I think it's useless, I think it's a distraction.

If you are wiling to do something that might not work, you are closer to being an artist.

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.

Don't have any meetings about your web strategy. Just do stuff. First you have to fail, then you can improve.

In the long run, doing work that's important leads to more happiness than doing work that's merely profitable.

The instinct to produce great work doesn't require a fancy notebook.

Being an artist isn't a genetic disposition or a specific talent. It's an attitude we can all adopt. It's a hunger to seize new ground, make connections, and work without a map. If you do those things, you're an artist.
