Believe what you read – but know what to read. You can’t limit yourself on inspiration from only what’s in front of, or around you. Thankfully tattooing has blessed me with clients from all walks of success, from different fields and backgrounds that have helped open up and change my attention and tastes outside of the world of tattooing. Pick up the latest Surface, Entrepreneur, Monocle, Forbes, Esquire to start and read up on some of these words from the features:
“Part of the key thing was that predisposition to accomplishing something every day and every week.” – Reid Hoffman
“Nothing will serve you better than a strong work ethic. Nothing. A link between addiction and creativity? Horseshit. No, I never told myself that lie.” – Robert Downey
“I never feel like any of my exhibitions are retrospective. I don’t make clothes following a trend. They don’t get old.” – Yohji Yamamoto
“I think the new generation of creative people has to be part of this design movement. I think people who are twenty years old today will – in 10, 15 years – be providing very interesting ideas. I think it’s very important for us to intercept this new generation’s way of thinking.” – Piero Gandini
“We must innovate and promote new features. But then we must wait for the brave who can recognize and exploit the idea and leave tradition and habit behind.” – Giorgetto Giugiaro
“I think I have a very nimble capacity to interpret large-scale issues, and those are the jobs that are the most impacting.…But I like it only if the thinking is applied to a very specific condition. I don’t want to think about cities in general. I want to think about only one city in particular and then be able to act upon it.” – Rafael Vinoly
“Starting a business is like painting a picture: You have to get all the colors right and all the little nuances right to create the perfect picture, or the perfect company. Every little single detail has to be right.” – Richard Branson
“We wanted people who wanted to win.” – Peter Theil
