"This is the American worker’s saga. The stuff you’re making is getting cheaper. The stuff you need is getting more expensive. That’s why you feel so squeezed."

"Make your work beautiful. Make it simple. Make it clear. Put it out there. Cast off the illusion that you can control the results. People respond by comparing to things they already know, so prepare for criticism. Ignore most of it. Listen to the bits that resonate. Understand that the more original your work is, the less others will be able to help you."
