It’s not the writing part that’s hard. What’s hard is sitting down to write.

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

To feel ambition and to act upon it is to embrace the unique calling of our souls.

Don't prepare, do. Don't let Resistance sucker you into wasting months on background, foundation, planning. All that can come later.

Art is a war - between ourselves and the forces of self-sabotage that would stop us from doing our work. The artist is a warrior.

If we were born to overthrow the order of ignorance and injustice of the world, it’s our job to realize it and get down to business.

The professional conducts his business in the real world. Adversity, injustice, bad hops and rotten calls, even good breaks and lucky bounces all comprise the ground over which the campaign must be waged. The field is level, the professional understands, only in heaven.
