-Do not fill the world with clutter. Each object that you create has to have a value by having presence.

-It might be that the more time passes, the more you have to edit during the working process.

-Put all your energy into instilling 'presence' in the object that you are creating.

-Either it's all in or don't bother at all.

-Going to ironmongers, haberdasheries can trigger ideas (especially if you are short of material). But be careful not to be overwhelmed by the quantity of material.

-Being a human being, is a good enough reason to create.

-Do not constrain your work to pre-established dimensions. It has to be the other way round.
