Quotes

“Be liquid, be flexible, be open, be malleable, be resilient. Don't be so tight about anything, because things may come that are better, and you could just ignore them because you're so fixated on this particular part.” - Corine Lafont

“You have to keep at it; you build it, and you build it. I have loads of content that I need to distill and do a lot of work with, but you just can't stop. You have to know what really matters to you the most.” - Corine Lafont

“Don't gripe, stop complaining. We don't have time for that; it actually makes you get older, wither away, and live a very Grinch-like life. Let's come back to the childlike bliss, joy, and innocence that we are supposed to be living.” - Corine Lafont
