Every time you find something that doesn't work, you're a step closer to what does work.

It's just not right that so many things don't work when they should. I don't think that will change for a long time.

As soon as a norm is established, people start questioning it, which is probably a good thing in the end.

I've also learned that sometimes, no matter how much you want things to work, you have to accept that sometimes they just don't.

We're often too entrenched in existing structures and are so primed to think that if we grew up with the values and the norms, they have to be correct.

I think every work is hard in different ways.

If people don't think I can fall into what the norm is, that's their problem and not mine. I'm not the norm; I'm not deluded.

I don't imagine myself, my work, or my life, fitting into any kind of standardized path. In fact, the idea of there even being a standard freaks me out a lot.

I think, generally, most people can't maintain anything that's particularly strict for very long. I watch people trying and failing to do that a lot.

Working against a restriction - for me - often produces greater things than getting rid of all boundaries.
