I have always been driven to buck the system, to innovate, to take things beyond where they've been.

Do it. Try it. Fix it.

Ignore the conventional wisdom. If everybody else is doing it one way, there’s a good chance you can find your niche by going in exactly the opposite direction.

I think I overcame every single one of my personal shortcomings by the sheer passion I brought to my work. I don't know if you're born with this kind of passion, or if you can learn it. But I do know you need it.

High expectations are the key to everything.

You can't just keep doing what works one time, everything around you is changing. To succeed, stay out in front of change.

...You can make a positive out of most any negative if you work at it hard enough.
