If you're not pushing your own technique to its own limits with the risk that it might just crumble at any moment, then you're not really doing your job.

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.

It's fun to be on the edge. I think you do your best work when you take chances, when you're not safe, when you're not in the middle of the road, at least for me, anyway.

What my father especially taught me was to not always take the safe road, the easy road. If you are going to do good work, you have to risk failing badly.

Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.

I have a work ethic. If I say I'm going to do something, I do it.

Working is one of the most dangerous forms of procrastination.

There has to be an element of risk-taking for me in my work.

You're only as good as your body of work.

Taking risks gives me energy.
