Things that make you weird as a kid will make you great tomorrow.
If your work appeals to everyone, it moves no one
You can't learn anything new, until you are open enough to forget everything you think you know
We're supposed to be the people who make culture, not decorate culture.
If you don't enjoy what you're doing, how can you assume anyone else will
The life you want doesn't exist. You have to make it up.
Inspiration is hogwash. My work comes directly out of my loves and hates. Muses don't whisper in my ear, and ideas don't flow over my body like a cool rain.
Put your weird in your work!
When we think of our work as a gift, it radically changes what we create.
But the few brave ones, both companies and individuals, who risk comfort and safety for a chance at beauty or being able to move someone — they have a potential to gain so much more.
Your pursuit of personal greatness challenges others to fear for their own causes, their own battles and pursuits. Your freedom is a reminder of their own imaginary restraints and limitations. Yet, for others, your confidence will be a beacon. People follow conviction, assertive advice and brave leaders, and there's nothing more powerful than a confident man or woman.
Creativity is not to be rudely shoved into being
By believing your work is a 'gift,' it radically changes what you create. I think this is a revolutionary idea. It's no longer about client approval or a paycheck, but aspiring to make work that has meaning and purpose in your life and for your audience.
In the particular lies the universal.
It's about whittling. It's about taking something and whittling and whittling and getting it sharp and perfect. Then you've got something.
We are born with magic inside of us
The first rule of business is FUN
Go have fun and make money
Distraction is the most corrosive disease of the 20th century.
I am everyone I have ever loved.
No one can stand in the way of your personal greatness
