At 25:00, on risk taking:

I think if…what you’re doing does not have the possibility of failing, then by definition you’re not doing anything new. That’s really sort of the way it is.

If you know how to do what it is that you’re doing and/or you’ve seen it done before, then you’re not doing anything. So the only way you can do anything new or interesting is to open yourself up to that risk of failing and in that sense I try to look at failure and success both as neutral things. It’s hard and I’m not always successful at accepting failure but I feel like I need to keep reminding myself of that: that this is the only way that it’ll be worth anything at all. Maybe it won’t be, but it definitely won’t be if I don’t do that.

Just read these great articles about Rick Rubin and David Lynch and I highly recommend them. They are so smart and cool and inspiring and stuff.
