"Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down."
"Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall."
"Looking back over a lifetime, you see that love was the answer to everything."
"Don’t worry about things. Don’t push. Just do your work and you’ll survive. The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow."
"Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things."
