The great thing about a sitcom is that you're in front of a live audience, so you really get in touch with what audience reaction is, but also there are lots of elements of film that you're dealing with, and there's kind of a great boot camp or graduate school mentality to it, because you're going to suck.
If you aren't making any mistakes, you aren't innovating. If you're making the same mistakes, you aren't learning.
Failure is the key to success; each mistake teaches us something.
I have not failed 10,000 times. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work.
No one ever became great except through many and great mistakes.
It's the way I study - to understand something by trying to work it out or, in other words, to understand something by creating it. Not creating it one hundred percent, of course; but taking a hint as to which direction to go but not remembering the details. These you work out for yourself.
If failure is not an option, neither is success. Innovation is just repeated failure till you come up with something that works.
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.
An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field.
Much can often be learned by the repetition under different conditions, even if the desired result is not obtained.
It's OK to be wrong. You learn from your wrongs. You don't learn from being right. If you're right, you already know it. If you're wrong, it's because you don't know about it, and you made a mistake.
Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.
There will be many failures sprinkled among the successes you enjoy.
Failure is not the opposite of success; it's part of success.
Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.
The day is committed to error and floundering; success and achievement are matters of long range.
I made 5,127 prototypes of my vaccum before I got it right. There were 5,126 failures. But I learned from each one. That’s how I came up with a solution. So I don’t mind failure.
Failure is just another way to learn how to do something right.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
Sometimes it takes a thousand tries to win
Human beings were given a left foot and a right foot to make a mistake first to the left, then to the right, left again and repeat.
I make plenty of mistakes and I'll make plenty more mistakes, too. That's part of the game. You've just got to make sure that the right things overcome the wrong ones.
When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.
I've learnt something from every failure. The products I helped design at the first two companies I worked for were utter failures. But now I know why.
Failure is part of success, and nobody should ever view failure as a bad thing as long as you learn from it.
