I have stood on a mountain of no's for one yes.

You don't meet the people you love, you recognize them.

You live out the confusions until they become clear.

It's not your job to be likable. It's your job to be yourself. Someone will like you anyway.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

Take a canvas. Put a mark on it. Put another mark on it.

The transformation of the heart is a wondrous thing, no matter how you land there.

I am all the things I have ever loved.

All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

I never practice, I always play.

When someone tells me “no,” it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them.
