Quotes:

●      Whatever you want to do, whether collaborating with somebody and you're afraid to go to the people or trying to get that grant you're most afraid of, try to get rejected.

●      One of the main things to remember about the main character's energy is confidence. Confidence means knowing you are capable, worthy, and the number one person.

●      Spending time alone lets you open up and notice what you are doing when nobody's looking. And that's actually how I started painting.

●      The only way to start hearing those things is to start listening, unplug, get by yourself, and remove distractions.

●      Go with your first mind. Get by yourself with nobody else's thoughts or opinions. And when you get that inkling in your mind of something you think would be fantastic, that is what you should do.
