Life is not linear; you have ups and downs. It's how you deal with the troughs that defines you.

I do struggle with the fact that I don't have all the answers.

Linear thinking typifies a highly developed industry. It starts to get these patterns built into it somehow. I'm not sure how that happens, but certainly you take a look at dinosaurs.

I think it's been confusing for people because I haven't had a linear career.

I'm not at a point in my life when I'm analyzing too much.

It's not like I have all the answers.

I never write in a linear way. And I tell students not to. You can only know so much about a book when you first start.

My nature is to be linear, and when I'm not, I feel really proud of myself.

Just knowing you don't have the answers is a recipe for humility, openness, acceptance, forgiveness, and an eagerness to learn - and those are all good things.
