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

“Until you actually start making something, your brilliant idea is just that, an idea.”

“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.”

“When you don’t know what you believe, everything becomes an argument. Everything is debatable. But when you stand for something, decisions are obvious.”

“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.”

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

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