To do anything artistically you have to acquire technique, but create through your technique and not with it.

The most potent muse of all is our own inner child.

Fidgeting and boredom are the symptoms of fear of emptiness, which we try to fill up with whatever we can lay our hands on.

Practice is an ever-fresh, challenging flow of work and play in which we continually test and demolish our own delusions; therefore, it is sometimes painful.

Every conversation is a form of Jazz. The activity of instantaneous creation is as ordinary to us as breathing.

If we are transparent, with nothing to hide, the gap between language and being disappears. Then the Muse can speak.

There is not ultimate breakthrough; what we find in the development of a creative life is an open-ended series of provisional breakthroughs. In this journey there is no endpoint, because it is the journey into the soul.
