Risk is essential. There is not growth of inspiration in staying within what is safe and comfortable. Once you find out what you do best, why not try something else?
Just taking risks for risk's sake, that doesn't do it for me. I'm willing to take risks that I think are worth it, and I've worked so hard to make sure that I survive.
You have to take risks.
I talk a lot about taking risks, and then I follow that up very quickly by saying, 'Take prudent risks.'

I'm a risk-taker. Most of my career has not been a joyful experience, but it has been challenging. I like the dangers.
There has to be an element of risk-taking for me in my work.
