Whenever the competition is sleeping is when I shine.
I don't believe in this business of being behind, better to be in front.
If you're not ready the moment things happen, then you're irrelevant, you might as well not go.
... if you take a risk, two things will happen. People will laugh at you. Or you'll be way ahead of everybody else. And if that's what you're in it for, then you gotta take that risk.
I always wanted to be different. I always wanted to be first.
In order to succeed it is not necessary to be much cleverer than other people. All you have to do is be one day ahead of them.
I go by the rule of Gretzky: you gotta be there before the puck gets there, or you're going to get beat.
Sometimes you are in sync with the times, sometimes you are in advance, sometimes you are late.
If you start shaping everything you do trying to be in step with whatever is going on in the world, you're often out of step by the time people hear it. It's a bit like fashion.
If you follow the trend, you'll always be right behind it.
Any time you can get in a position to start to get some of the quality work in as early as possible, I think it gives you a leg up or at least gives you the opportunity to be really prepared for the first time you take the ball.
I love being the first person to play a part. I really get a big thrill out of it.
