More than those who hate you, more than all your enemies, an undisciplined mind does greater harm.

An artist's studio should be a small space because small rooms discipline the mind and large ones distract it.

Art lives from constraints and dies from freedom.

Rise early, that by habit it may become familiar, agreeable, healthy, and profitable. It may, for a while, be irksome to do this, but that will wear off; and the practice will produce a rich harvest forever thereafter; whether in public or private walks of life.

The army influences everything I do. Certainly it teaches you discipline, which is a necessary element of development. I think there's more of a collaborative understanding in the band because of that.

I do think unpunctuality is a vile habit, and all my life I have tried to break myself of it.
