“The best and only thing that one artist can do for another is to serve as an example and an inspiration.”
“He who is best prepared can best serve his moment of inspiration.”
“One learns from books and example only that certain things can be done. Actual learning requires that you do those things.”
“Leaders lead themselves first and foremost. Only then can they act as example and inspiration to others.”
“Life is good, dealing with it can be hard, and sometimes the very best thing—no, the only thing—we can do to face another day is to laugh at ourselves, and share a laugh with others.”
“A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.”
