“Our egos tells us we're the only ones that have any kind of
feelings. We're the only ones with a relationship. We're the only ones with
family. You know, I think that if you kill a spider, there is a relationship
that you're ruining. There's a conversation going on outside with the other
spiders. 'Did you hear about Chris?....Killed yeah....Sneaker. And now Stephanie
has nine hundred babies to raise all alone. Well, she's got her legs full I'll
tell you that right now. Chris was so kind, wouldn't hurt a fly. It's just been
tough for them lately. They just lost their web last week. Those humans think
they're so smart. Let them try shooting silk out of their butt and see what they
can make.'”
"I'm feeling so good. I feel like a million bucks. I'm focused. I'm alert, I'm zippy and top of my game . . . I've never felt better! I'm sharp as a tack right now. And what's weird is that I didn't get a good nights sleep last night. And they say that's the most imporant thing. Or is it breakfast they said? . . .

And, they say that's the most important thing."

"Creativity is a lot like looking at the world through a kaleidoscope. You look
at a set of elements, the same ones everyone else sees, but then reassemble
those floating bits and pieces into an enticing new possibility. Effective
leaders are able to shake up their thinking as though their brains are
kaleidoscopes, permitting an array of different patterns out of the same bits of
reality."
"Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything . . . whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out."
"Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence."
"There is little difference in people, but that little difference, makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
"An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic ephipany."
