On the artist's journey we are redefining and reconfiguring ourselves and our lives.

The difference between an amateur and a professional is in their habits. An amateur has amateur habits. A professional has professional habits. We can never free ourselves from habit. But we can replace bad habits with good ones.

Resistance will tell you anything to keep you from doing your work.

The essence of professionalism is the focus upon the work and its demands, while we are doing it, to the exclusion of all else.

Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It's a gift to the world and every being in it. Don't cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you've got.

Don't prepare. Begin. Our enemy is not lack of preparation. The enemy is resistance, our chattering brain producing excuses. Start before you are ready.

I am going to write my symphony; I'm just going to start tomorrow.
