Andy Warhol // "I'm confused about who the news belongs to. I always have it in my head that if your name's in the news, then the news should be paying you. Because it's your news and they're taking it and selling it as their product. If people didn't give the news their news, and if everybody kept their news to themselves, the news wouldn't have any news. So I guess you should pay each other. But I haven't figured it out fully yet."

Ernst Haas // "Ask yourself if you would do it if nobody would ever see it, if you would never be compensated for it, if nobody ever wanted it. If you come to a clear 'yes' in spite of it, then go ahead and don't doubt it anymore."

Tina Fey // "Speak in statements instead of apologetic questions. No one wants to go to a doctor who says, "I'm going to be your surgeon? I'm going to talk to you about your procedure?"... Make statements, with your actions and your voice."

Richard McGuire // "I've been thinking a lot about how seldom we're in the moment, how we're always thinking about something else, making plans, remembering...but occasionally we get flashes of being right where we are."

Nina Simone // "I have to constantly re-identify myself to myself, reactivate my own standards, my own convictions about what I’m doing and why."

Marina Abramovic // "I think communication starts when words are not present at all... I think we put so much emphasis on language, actually silence is so much more important."
