"I want to grow away from the pathetic little world we exist in. I want to leave it all behind, all the petty thoughts about unimportant little things, things that'll be forgotten a hundred years from now anyway. There's a level somewhere where everything is solid and important. I'm going to try to reach up there and find a place I know is pretty close to perfect, a place where this whole messy world should be, could be, if it'd just take the time to learn."

“If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine.”

"I'm interested in that thing that happens where there's a breaking point for some people and not for others. You go through such hardship, things that are almost impossibly difficult, and there's no sign that it's going to get any better, and that's the point when people quit. But some don't."
The world around us is in a sea change, and I think the glory of art is that it cannot only survive change, it can lead it."
"Whenever there's chaos, there's ambiguity, and where there's ambiguity, there's fear. And fear gets manipulated."
"I have a very low regard for cynics. I think it's the beginning of dying."
"You have to believe in your own projects and ideas more than anyone else."
"When I was young, I said to myself, 'You've got to make the most of your life.' It's all about taking risks. Push yourself to do as much exploration as possible. Find yourself. Because sometimes we think we've found ourselves, but it's only part of ourselves we've found. We haven't pushed ourselves far out there where we make mistakes and things don't work out, but at least we've discovered something. I felt that's what my life had to be."
"I have no regrets, because I've done everything I could to the best of my ability."

"What really matters is the work. And what matters to me is doing the work. I'm not looking at the back end: 'What am I going to get out of this? What's going to be the reward?' I'm just looking at the work, the pleasure of being able to do the work."
