I've had some great examples in my career of how to do things the right way.

The highest levels of performance come to people who are centered, intuitive, creative, and reflective - people who know to see a problem as an opportunity.

I really appreciate that: to walk into an environment where everyone is serious and dedicated to creating the best performance possible and challenging themselves to figure out the most interesting way to approach the work.

The key is not to figure out what the best people are doing and try to emulate it - rather, figure out what causes people and companies to be successful.

Many people who want to be great aren't willing to do the work to make it possible!

I think there are lots of ways to make good work. You can throw big bucks at a project and make what some would call crap, or you can work very modestly with eloquently moving results.

I want to make serious work that engages with serious subjects. I'm very lucky: I get to more or less make what I want.

I think the greatest way to learn is to learn by someone's example.

I'm not an expert in instruments, beat programming, or electronics. For some people it's all about doing it themselves. But for me, it's all about find the people that can help make my vision come true.
