“To do great work, you need to feel that you're making a difference. That you're putting a meaningful dent in the universe. That you are part of something important.”

“If you're solving someone else's problem, you're constantly stabbing in the dark. When you solve your own problem, the light comes on.”

“It’s a beautiful way to put it: Leave the poetry in what you make. When something becomes too polished, it loses its soul. It seems robotic.”

“When you are new at something, you need to start creating.”

“Pass on hiring people you don't need, even if you think that person's a great catch.”

“If you are going to do something, do something that matters.”

“Don't sit around and wait for someone else to make the change you want to see. And don't think it takes a huge team to make that difference either.”
