I cannot stress enough that the answer to a lot of your life's questions is often in someone else's face. Try putting your iPhones down every once in a while and look at people's faces.

If you're not failing all the time, you're not creating a situation where you can get lucky.

I suppose I shouldn't go around admitting I speak untruths on the radio.

When I say something untrue on the air, I mean for it to be transparently untrue. I assume people know when I'm just saying something for effect. Or to be funny.

It takes a while. It's gonna take you a while. It's normal to take a while. You just have to fight your way through that.

The most important possible thing you can do is do a lot of work.

It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions.
