“Nobody is bored when he is trying to make something that is beautiful, or to discover something that is true.”
“If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all.”
“It's beautiful when you play it. Something seems to happen to it when I try.”
“When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.”
“I loved the idea that people could discover things. That you could be the person to see something first. Or see something that nobody else had been able to.”
“If you try to make something just to fit your uninformed view of some hypothetical market, you will fail. If you make something special and powerful and honest and true, you will succeed.”
