"I was really excited when I heard that one of my favorite living artists was going to release a book. When I added it to my "currently reading" books and sneaked on a couple of reviews and I had mixed feelings about it, but I tried to not let them in"

“• I hope to encourage you. I hope to show you that art isn’t just for the gifted. It’s not a talent you need to be born with. All of us, ALL OF US are artists. You don’t have to make art a career. You don’t need to paint to be an artist. Your art might be music or dance or poetry or knitting—or whatever you do to create something good to bring into this world. We’re all artists in some way. Wherever our passions lie. In that thing we do that brings us joy.”

“• Artists are more than our art. We’re more than what we do. We’re mothers or sisters or uncles or sons. We’re friends or teammates or class¬mates or neighbors. We’re Hes and Shes and Theys and Thems. We have beliefs in greater things, be it our Gods or the Universe or ourselves. We’re more than artists—and we can do more than just BE artists. We can be kind.”

“We all feel the pangs of imposter syndrome or the dread of not being good enough or the emptiness of artist’s block. Regardless of what medium you use to make art, please know that we are all struggling alongside you.”

“• It’s a sad commentary on our society that artists are so often depicted as degenerates and derelicts. Tragic and disheveled subhu¬mans with nowhere to live and not a penny to their name. I mean, it’s kind of true, but it’s still hurtful.”

“I think the best thing I’ve learned to do is to listen. Listen to marginalized groups. Listen to people with disabilities. Listen to women. Listen to people of color. Listen to people in foreign lands. Listen to people who worship differently than you. Listen to people who love differently than you. Listen to people who are suffering. Listen to people who just need someone to hear them. Listen.”
