Everything takes more time than you thought, everything costs more money than you thought, and almost everything turns out not quite as cool as you expected.

Although your time and attention are finite, the demands on your time and attention are infinite.

Stop. I’m not going to take any more input until I’ve made something with what I got.

Where you allow your attention to go ultimately says more about you as a human being than anything that you put in your mission statement.

Like tornadoes and cold sores, good work happens with total disregard to whether I'm 'into it.'

My narrative is that I've never known what's coming next-I still don't. I fell down the right set of stairs and have been surrounded by people who have picked me up and said, “Let's try this again.” It's been one anxious block of uncertainty after another.

Don't just play with your phone: go out and produce something.
