“All advice is autobiographical. It’s one of my theories that when people give you advice, they’re really just talking to themselves in the past.” “The writer Jonathan Lethem has said that when people call something ‘original,’ nine out of ten times they just don’t know the references or the original sources involved.” “The artist is a collector. Not a hoarder, mind you, there’s a difference: Hoarders collect indiscriminately, artists collect selectively. They only collect things that they really love.” “The cartoonist Tom Gauld says he stays away from the computer until he’s done most of the thinking for his strips, because once the computer is involved, ‘things are on an inevitable path to being finished. Whereas in my sketchbook the possibilities are endless.’” “The more open you are about sharing your passions, the closer people will feel to your work. Artists aren’t magicians. There’s no penalty for revealing your secrets.” “The best way to vanquish your enemies on the Internet? Ignore them. The best way to make friends on the Internet? Say nice things about them.” “The trouble with creative work: Sometimes by the time people catch on to what’s valuable about what you do, you’re either a) bored to death with it, or b) dead. You can’t go looking for validation from external sources. Once you put your work into the world, you have no control over the way people will react to it.” “Who you marry is the most important decision you’ll ever make. And ‘marry well’ doesn’t just mean your life partner—it also means who you do business with, who you befriend, who you choose to be around.”
