If it doesn’t work out there will never be any doubt that the pleasure was worth all the pain.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you learn to do it well.
The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it.

When the first big paycheque with ‘Dumb And Dumber’ hit, I went: ‘Gosh, I wonder if this will affect my performance. Will I do a take and think, was that worth $7 million?’ But that never happened. If anything, it made me rebel against that thing when people who get rich start playing it safe.

I guess the point of that song ‘Troublemaker, Doppelganger’ is trying to navigate the worth of beauty and if it’s hurtful or helpful to value beauty. If it’s a curse or a blessing. Is that something really negative and morbid, like the hearse, or is it the limousine – a glamorous symbol of enjoying life?
The theater needs continual reminders that there is nothing more debasing than the work of those who do well what is not worth doing at all.

One today is worth two tomorrows.
I am sure it is one’s duty as a teacher to try to show boys that no opinions, no tastes, no emotions are worth much unless they are one’s own. I suffered acutely as a boy from the lack of being shown this.
From my very first day as an entrepreneur, I’ve felt the only mission worth pursuing in business is to make people’s lives better.
I am moving towards that zone where I don’t want to be a replaceable name. This is my goal. I want to hear from the industry that, ‘You are the only one who can do this. We will not go ahead with the project if you don’t do this.’ And I want to hear from the audience that it is worth watching a film that I have done.
I feel like dreams are always a little tricky, you know? But if you just push through the struggles and the hard times, it’ll be so worth it in the end because you will be able to get to your dreams.
