I still use that quite often in my classroom.  This video, in which Close sends a message to his 14 year old self with this exact message is, if you'll excuse the irony, inspirational:

    It's true !,
    i admit it myself, i'm an amateur graphic and web designer, usually it takes a few hours to find an inspiration for my work, but th truth is, if you try to draw at first place, it will create something anyway, and the more you try, the better it goes, just get to work !.
