Saul Bass Quotes

I'm starting to mistrust my judgment.

I'm not a big believer in second-guessing decisions.

There's something exceptional about watching a video and simultaneously thinking 'That was genius!' and 'I could have done that!'

There wasn't a time where I felt fearful that I couldn't make the best decisions possible.

[Mannerism is when] you think you have all these great ideas, and none of them are good at the end of the day. But while you are pursuing those other things subconsciously happen.

Occasionally, there arises a writing situation where you see an alternative to what you are doing, a mad, wild gamble of a way for handling something, which may leave you looking stupid, ridiculous or brilliant -you just don't know which. You can play it safe there, too, and proceed along the route you'd mapped out for yourself. Or you can trust your personal demon who delivered that crazy idea in the first place. Trust your demon.

Trust your creativity.

I have fantastic ideas.

I question every move. I'm constantly second-guessing myself.

You aren't sure if you're making the right decision - about anything, ever.

Sometimes you're not sure about a player. Sometimes you doubt. Sometimes you have to guess. Sometimes... you just know.

What makes me different as a scientist is that I'm kind of imaginative. The ideas just happen.

I second-guess myself all the time. I make a decision and then wonder if I made the wrong choice.

It's kind of a rule of thumb for me to self-doubt going into any kind of project. I always think that I shouldn't be doing it and I don't know how to do it and I'm going to fail and that I fooled them. I always try to find a way out.

I actually don't have a great surplus of ideas. Some evolve very slowly, over many years, but I sort of trust that all of the interesting ones will become something that I eventually end up doing.

I was disappointed a little in Stevenson because I did think he couldn't make up his mind. It's the feeling I always had. Perhaps all of us have self-doubt, and we should have, and most of us do, but it doesn't show. It doesn't show as much as it did in Adlai; he seemed to do it in public.

Once doubt begins it spreads rapidly.

I am not really an inventor. I just steal my ideas from 8-year olds.

Timidity makes a person modest. It makes him or her say, 'I'm not worthy of being written up in the record of deeds in heaven or on earth.' Timidity keeps people from their good. They are afraid to say, 'Yes, I deserve it.'

You just can't spend any time second-guessing yourself.

As far as creation goes, you just really have to not overthink and just create and be confident. If you think it's tight, then the world is going to think it's tight.
