My greatest fear in working is always the end. Lately I have taken to tricking myself into finishing by leaving a hole in the middle somewhere, then stitching the two pieces together - the Union Pacific approach.

I can't emphasize this idea enough. Getting involved with your collaborator's problems almost always distracts you from your own. That can be tempting. That can be a relief. But it usually leads to disaster.

To embrace luck, you have to enhance your tolerance for ambiguity.

In the end all collaborations are love stories.

You have to believe there's something at the other side. And you have to have faith in yourself. You have to think that you have the tools to accomplish it.

In dreams, anything can be anything, and everybody can do. We can fly, we can turn upside down, we can transform into anything.

I had always seen myself as a star; I wanted to be a galaxy.
