I constantly experience failure in that my work is never as good as I want it to be. So I live with failure.

Failure is fantastic, because you meet yourself and get to know your limitations. This is how I express myself, and I can't do it any other way.

Failure is an enigma. You worry about it, and it teaches you something.

There's something to be said for failing. It's not the failure you feel, it's the failure that people project when something disappoints. You're back to ground zero, where there's no expectations, and that's where I like to be.

I think somehow you need to get to a certain point in your life where the notion of failure is absurd.

I love failure. It's stuff that I'm thinking about all the time in my life, so it would make sense to me anyway to write about it.

Your personal life, your professional life, and your creative life are all intertwined. I went through a few very difficult years where I felt like a failure. But it was actually really important for me to go through that. Struggle, for me, is the most inspirational thing in the world at the end of the day - as long as you treat it that way.

I'm kind of a failure. I mean, I'll be honest. I'm successful in that I'm getting to work on great stuff, but I think I'm a failure in all the personal stuff that is most important to me.

Failure seldom stops you. What stops you is the fear of failure.
