"You've really got to be brave and take those risks." "Put yourself out there.  Be willing and open to learn and change and evolve." "It's a matter of focusing on getting that time to yourself that you need to build that creativity to keep yourself filled up." "Make it a regular routine.  Your mind starts to prepare itself and it becomes natural to get in the mode and the flow to create." "Having a better understanding of my own vision and what I wanted to offer to the world outside of making a living from it... that is when things really changed for me."
