Don't worry about what other people say, you could be doing what they're doing or even better than them.

An innovation will get traction only if it helps people get something that they're already doing in their lives done better.

I like being part of teams that go into things that people don't think are doing very well and getting into them to do better.

There's always that argument to make - that you're in better company historically if people don't understand what you're doing.

I mean, I think I'm doing a lot better than other people that have had shoulder surgery in their careers. Some people have never come back.

There are people who dismiss any ideas you have about helping, but anything has got to be better than doing absolutely nothing... hasn't it?

I've been totally replaced by people who are superior. I was doing, like, 15 different things. It's very gratifying to watch your job done better.

There's nothing better than getting announced you're doing a job, people slating you, then you do a job and having people go 'he's actually all right.'

I think most of the people, once you see a Kiss show, you kinda get spoiled because I don't think there's anybody out there that's doing a bigger or a better show than us.

I think it's better when you're natural, when you just do whatever you want, instead of doing classes where I see all these other people holding back because they've been trained with certain skills or techniques. I'm like, whatever.

We inculcate young people with the message that if they don't succeed, it is merely of their own doing. They should have worked harder, we say. They should have made better decisions. This message is especially present in communities of color.

Running a successful, growing company in Silicon Valley can create an ironic sort of depression and delusion. The better you're doing, the higher the stakes, and higher expectations for you to win. Maybe that's why people say it's so hard. But that doesn't make it hard. That just makes it distracting.
