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.

I think we all have our own mission, duty, fate in life so for me somehow I think I am always walking on the edge of life and take risks.

You've got to be closer to the edge than ever to win. That means sometimes you go over the edge, and I don't mean driving, either.

You only do good work when you're taking risks and pushing yourself.

I've always wanted to be able to let myself go over the edge.

I don't think there's any thrill in the world like doing work you're good at.

When I feel like I'm doing my best work, there is a bit of a freedom, a bit of flight that you're not so much losing yourself but you're sort of in the zone.

If your work isn't exciting, doesn't stir the emotions, where's the challenge? Where's the progress if you always play it safe?

I always try to keep that feeling of being on the edge. I'm afraid of knowing too well and seeming mechanical.

I don't think there's ever a point when you turn to yourself and go, 'Yes, I've made a success of this career path.' You never feel like you've done your best work. You always think you could be better.
