“Live a balanced life — learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.”

“There must be always remaining in every life, some place for the singing of angels, some place for that which in itself is breathless and beautiful.”

“In books, or work, or healthful play,
Let my first years be past,
That I may give for every day
Some good account at last.”

“Some days I feel like playing it smooth. Some days I feel like playing it like a waffle iron.”

“Seek the lofty by reading, hearing and seeing great work at some moment every day.”

“For life is but a dream whose shapes return,
Some frequently, some seldom, some by night
And some by day.”

“We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

“Time is truly elastic. If you just rock what you have to do, you'll get it done. And another thing, too, that I learned recently, it kind of put me more at ease with the day-to-day, is just there's some kind of energy and balance and something beautiful in the ups and downs of the day-to-day. You'll get great news and you'll get bad news, and this will all be in the same day, but there's something cohesive and the balance of that is comforting. Learning to be comfortable with the ups and downs of every day and knowing that's just the mystery of life and how it is, you know?”

“I am going to do some drawings or paintings…in the mirror of my wardrobe.. with myself as a figure doing something.”

“Life is a play that does not allow testing. So, sing, cry, dance, laugh and live intensely, before the curtain closes and the piece ends with no applause.”
