I never knew how to do anything before I did it, really.

Not being afraid to be wrong - I had to learn how to do that.

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

I've always had better luck learning things on my own. And I really love the challenge of doing it yourself and kind of being alone against the system.

I wasn't a very good student. I prefer to learn by experience.

I learned how to make an endoscope using a Swiss Army Knife, a cell phone camera, cell phone, and chewing gum.

I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient, so I worked as little as possible.

I began to do this thing I do of giving myself a class every day, and trying to experiment and push further. I don't mean to say I knew everything, because I didn't, but I would do what I knew and then push beyond that and see what else I could find.

I learned nothing while I was in school.

I had a lot of growing up to do. A lot of times, I learned the hard way.
