Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine.

Only love can heal the wounds of the past.

It is not enough to know your craft — you have to have feeling.

Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?

Show up, show up, show up, and after a while the muse shows up, too.

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

Every noble work is at first impossible.

To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that.

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

Walls turned sideways are bridges.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Travel is the traveler. What we see isn't what we see but what we are.
