"Knowing that you're crazy doesn't make the crazy things stop happening."
"Art is lunging forward without certainty about where you are going or how to get there, being open to and dependent on what luck, the paint, the typo, the dissonance, give you. Without art, you're stuck with yourself as you are and life as you think life is."
"It's regrets that make painful memories. When I was crazy I did everything just right."
"Who but a brazen crazy person would go one-on-one with blank paper or canvas armed with nothing but ideas?"
"Introverts almost never cause me trouble and are usually much better at what they do than extroverts. Extroverts are too busy slapping one another on the back, team building, and making fun of introverts to get much done. Extroverts are amazed and baffled by how much some introverts get done and assume that they, the extroverts, are somehow responsible."
