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.

Failure is simply a few errors in judgment repeated every day.

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again this time more intelligently.

Failure is a word that I simply don't accept.
