When I visit my mom, we like to watch art documentaries together. Brian Rutenburg has some particularly great videos on creative inspiration. Here are a few quotes I want to share with you:
- Make a shit ton of work, then destroy 90% of it.
- Nothing interesting results from perfection.
- If you can’t explain something simply, then you don’t understand it.
- Success is confused with popularity.
- Choose friends carefully.
- You won the greatest lottery… you were born.
- The only way to avoid criticism is to say nothing, do nothing, and be nothing.
- Boredom is the fuel of creativity.
- There will always be someone smarter or stronger, but there is no one exactly like you. Be totally, authentically you. Be the most like yourself.
- Simplify to clarify.
- The world is full of love songs, but there is always room for one more.
- Anything self-conscious sucks. (Get out of your own way).
- No one cares what you do.
- If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.
