"They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."
"...after you stop wanting things is when having them won't make you go crazy. After you stop wanting them is when you can handle having them. Or before. But never during. If you get things when you really want them, you go crazy. Everything becomes distorted when something you really want is sitting in your lap."

"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art."
"Sometimes the little times you don't think are anything while they're happening turn out to be what marks a whole period of your life."
"You have to do stuff that average people don't understand because those are the only good things."
