Quotes:

"I have a lot of fear.  That goes way back for me."

"You can overthink it.  Just make something new that brings a lot of joy."

"Don't let it be this monumental task that you have to do, but let it bring joy to your life."

"Maybe the first things that you do will be shit.  And it will look like shit.  Or be shit.  But you shouldn't expect otherwise.  You just have to keep doing it and doing it and doing it and eventually it will get easier."

"You have to sit down and say, 'Now I'm going to do it!' or chances are it's not going to get done."
