If you try to delight the undelightable, you've made yourself miserable for no reason.

When you walk around braced for impact, you're dramatically decreasing your chances. Your chances to avoid the outcome you fear, your chances to make a difference, and your chances to breathe and connect.

Quit or be exceptional. Average is for losers.

Now for the first time, you can choose yourself. You can be responsible for what you do and how you do it. You have to do the hard work of finding and pleasing an audience.

Just start. Start now. Fail often. Enjoy the ride.

Art is a personal act of courage.

If you're different somehow and have made yourself unique, people will find you and pay you more.
