A house is just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff.
George Carlin
I find that an entertainer is quite content to sit still, and I think an artist always has a little motion, always going somewhere.

Self-expression is a hallmark of an artist, of art, to get something off one's chest, to sing one's song. So that element is present in all art. It is the key to even standing up and saying, Hey, listen to me. Self-expression can be based on looking at the world and making observations about it.
George Carlin
My advice: Just keep movin' straight ahead. Every now and then you find yourself in a different place.
