In the end all collaborations are love stories.

Reading, conversation, environment, culture, heroes, mentors, nature – all are lottery tickets for creativity. Scratch away at them and you’ll find out how big a prize you’ve won.

Usually kids who are talented have the brashness to think they can do anything, but they don't often get the chance to see how close they can come.

I don't mean this, but I'm going to say it anyway. I don't really think of pop art and serious art as being that far apart.
