“You're hot for two seconds, and you're struggling to get work again. If it were easy, I don't think that's a good place for an artist to work from.”
“Things that really matter are the things that gold can't buy, so let's have another cup o' coffee and let's have another piece o' pie.”
“Your energy and the ability to energize others is more valuable than your time.”
