“Your talent is your art. It is not to be taken for granted. ”

“God has granted you a special talent. It's now your duty to hone that talent, because a person who wastes his God-given talents is a donkey.”

“Whether you dance, draw, make music, shoot field goals, build houses, tune engines, or sit around all day watching television, you are an artist. Your single greatest work of art is your self. As with any art form, the more you understand and develop your talents, the more empowered and masterful you become as an artist. This is particularly important when engaging in the art of consciously shaping your own life.”

“I don’t know why, precisely. I believe we were in need of a change. We needed to do things for ourselves. Does that make any sense? To break your own ground and know it’s yours, free and clear. Nothing taken for granted.”

“No, normalcy is taken for granted until it's gone.”

“Art depends on luck and talent.”
