if you want to create art, you'd best have a deep belief in yourself and no ulterior motives.

Every work of art needs a spine – an underlying theme, a motive for coming into existence. It doesn't have to be apparent to the audience. But you need it at the start of the creative process to guide you and keep you going.

I had always seen myself as a star; I wanted to be a galaxy.

There is obviously a power and a truth in action that doesn't lie, which words easily can do.

When you're in a groove, you're not spinning your wheels; you're moving forward in a straight and narrow path without pauses or hitches. You're unwavering, undeviating, and unparalleled in your purpose. A groove is the best place in the world. Because when you are in it, you have the freedom to explore, where everything you question leads you to new avenues and new routes.

Perfect practice makes perfect.

Doing is better than not doing, and if you do something badly you'll learn to do it better.
