"My approach to what I do in my job… and it might even be the approach to my life… is that everything I do is the most important thing I do. Whether it’s a play or the next film. It is the most important thing. I know it’s not going to be the most important thing, and it might not be close to being the best, but I have to make it the most important thing.

That means I will be ambitious with my job and not with my career. That’s a very big difference…because if I’m ambitious with my career, everything I do now is just stepping-stones leading to something… a goal I might never reach, and so everything will be disappointing. But if I make everything important, then eventually it will become a career.

Big or small, we don’t know. But at least everything was important."

“I read a lot. I listen a lot. I think a lot. But so little remains. The books I read, their plots, their protagonists fade… Names of people, books, cities. They are already fading away. Even the titles of films I’ve seen recently…they have already faded… Everything that I see, or read, or listen to, connects, translates into moods, bits of surroundings, colors… With me, everything is mood, mood, or else…simply nothingness.” — Jonas Mekas

I just want to be able to feel safe enough to slow down to hear myself.

Slowly is the fastest way to get you where you want to be.
