If you're going to fail, you might as well fail at the big ones.

I've never regretted anything I've done, even the things that I've failed at. I've often regretted not trying something really big, because you'll never know.

Thinking is my hobby. But sometimes you get to where you're stuck and you can't figure it out, so you just go work on another project. I always have multiple projects.

If people ridicule you, look them in the eye and say, 'Yeah, I may have failed, but at least I tried,' and get on with it.
