I'm sure not afraid of success and I've learned not to be afraid of failure. The only thing I'm afraid of now is of being someone I don't like much.
I mean I love L.A. - I love living here. But I wish that we could make things without the need to hit a home run every single time. It's a unique thing to Hollywood that if you don't do that every time then you're considered a failure. But it's like 'Well are you making movies to be successful? Or are you making movies to learn something?'
I was taught that to create anything you had to believe in failure simply because you had to be prepared to go through an idea without any fear. Failure you learned as I did in art school to be a wonderful thing. It allowed you to get up in the morning and take the pillow off your head.
There are no mistakes save one: the failure to learn from a mistake.
The person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy inevitable part of the process of getting to the top.
We need to teach the highly educated man that it is not a disgrace to fail and that he must analyze every failure to find its cause. He must learn how to fail intelligently for failing is one of the greatest arts in the world.
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do by finding out what will not do and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
One of the reasons people stop learning is that they become less and less willing to risk failure.
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.
Failure is a great teacher and I think when you make mistakes and you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences then you've got something to share.
