It's easy to come up with new ideas; the hard part is letting go of what worked for you two years ago, but will soon be out-of-date.

If you make an error, use it as a stepping stone to a new idea you might not have otherwise discovered.

It's a terrifying thing to be perhaps 16 or 17 and feel like you are a failure and a has-been.

I don't like to get in front of people.
