“We like to invent new disciplines or look at new problems, and invent bandwagons rather than jump on them.”
“There was no hope for any kind of big opportunity. I'm not saying it was hopeless. The big pay-off was to work as an artist and gain some shred of respect from your friends, who were also artists. But there was never any notion that you could make a living out of art. On the rare occasions you had a gallery show, and sold a little work, well, that was just gravy.”
“Honestly, you have to take care of yourself. That's probably something I have learned on the road.”

“Those who are waiting for an epiphany to strike may wait forever. The artist simply goes to work, making art, both good and not so good.”
“Everyone wants to argue. Everyone does. Everyone needs to.”
“Remember that ofttimes the wisdom of God appears as foolishness to men, but the greatest single lesson we can learn in mortality is that when God speaks and a man obeys, that man will always be right.”
“The beginnings were sweet, the endings usually bitter, but the middles were only the tightrope you walked between the one and the other. No more than that.”
