“Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying “yes” begins things. Saying “yes” is how things grow. Saying “yes” leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say “yes’.” -Stephen Colbert

I’m a real believer that creativity comes from limits, not freedom. [With] freedom, I think you don’t know what to do with yourself. But when you have structure, then you can improvise off it and feel confident enough to kind of come back to that.
