I usually describe myself as an engineer; that's basically what I've been doing since I was a kid.
You should be innovating so fast that you're invalidating your prior patents.
I'm constantly progressing. My style is changing every day.
I think you always have to be innovating and adapting and improving. You can't stay the same.
Creating is always so much more stimulating than destroying.
You should make something. You should bring something into the world that wasn't in the world before. It doesn't matter what it is. It doesn't matter if it's a table or a film or gardening-everyone should create. You should do something, then sit back and say, 'I did that.'
When you are small, and you have to try and prove yourself, it is tough. When others are catching up and copy you, that's tough. We constantly need to change ourselves to stay ahead of the game.
If you're too focused on your current business, it's hard to change and concentrate on innovating.
I feel like so much of what I'm doing is making a road where there is no road and inviting people on that road with me. It's scary. It's scary, but I can't listen to the voices that are saying form is the only way, or that there is only this kind of form or that kind of form.
There's no point stepping up to the golden platform if you're going to repeat yourself.
Observing is really the fuel to innovating, ultimately.
I am really not interested or excited by repeating former successes.
I kind of prefer to be sort of ahead of the pack checking things out, priming the canvas, if you will, for the younger guys that are going to come up and try to make their own statements about what they feel and what they have to contribute.
