Quotes

* Creativity thrives between ideas and action
Never give up. Even if you give up, never give up!
It's easy to do the things you love. Doing the things you don't, that, is true love!
Start with the simple, simply start!
Don't give up. Don't give in!
Act!
Between subject and object art resides.
I'm not here to beat the house. I'm here to play the game!
Certain peoples ideas just have to be stolen. Who wants to spend a lot of time figuring out how re-tie a bowline ?
Don't spend to much time watching, reading and buying other people's crap!
I stopped watching TV in the year 2000.
I have no regrets, except regret!
Don't ask me how, ask me why!
The three roads to success. 1. Chutzpah. 2. More chutzpa 3. Still more chutzpah!
Not all who wonder are lost!
If anyone can do it; it's not art!
