“The artist begins with a vision — a creative operation requiring effort. Creativity takes courage.”

“An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artist takes it personally.”

“You can not take something that an artist created during the creative process, and then discarded, and say it is an authentic work of that artist.”

“Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating.”

“Another word for creativity is courage.”

“Encouraged, we recognise the importance of living artistically, aesthetically and creatively as creative creatures of the creator.”

“Life is infinite creative play.
Enjoyment and participation in this creative play
Is the artists profound joy.
We co-author every moment
With universal creativity.”

“Creativity requires faith. Faith requires that we relinquish control.”

“Not blaming ourselves for mistakes is the flip side of not taking credit for our acts of courage or creativity or leadership, or our good ideas.”

“If you're judging any creative effort, longevity is the reward.”
