Don't criticize what you don't understand, son. You never walked in that man's shoes.
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Everybody's an artist. Everbody's God. It's just that they're inhibited.
At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.
I've always thought that problem-solving is highly overrated and problem creation is far more interesting.
Let's have no talk of temperamental, self-absorbed and petulant babies. Being a good artist is the toughest job you could pick, and you have to be a little nuts to take it on. I love them all.

Self-control is self-mastery. It is kingship over all life. At the center of your being sits yourself. Your seat ought to be a throne. If you are not in control, if there are any forces in your nature that are unruly, that do not acknowledge your sway, you are not the king you should be. Part of your kingdom is in insurrection. The strength of your life is divided. The strong man is he whose whole being is subject to him.
Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less and stop watching ourselves live.
Sometimes it's necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly.
