Be yourself. I much prefer seeing something, even it is clumsy, that doesn’t look like somebody else’s work.

William Klein

A mind that is interested in changing… is interested precisely in the things that are at extremes. I’m certainly like that. Unless we go to extremes, we won’t get anywhere.

John Cage

Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.

Andy Warhol

You need to claim the events of your life to make yourself yours.

Anne-Wilson Schaef

Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?

Charles Bukowski

Jack Kerouac
