The rejection that we all take and the sadness and the aggravation and the loss of jobs and all of the things that we live through in our lives, without a sense of humor, I don’t know how people make it. Marlo Thomas Read Quote
The way you build trust with your team is around super-clear communication in that instant when they say, ‘I will be sad if you don’t do X.’ You have to say, ‘We’re not going to do X, and here’s why, and believe me, you’ll be much sadder later if I let you go do it and you spend a bunch of time on it and nothing ever happens.’ Dick Costolo Read Quote
I have a lot of energy, and if I don’t keep myself busy, I go crazy. I alphabetise the spice rack, separate the Lego from the Playmobile, colour-code the knicker drawers – it’s scary!

I’ve always enjoyed when other people have sampled it, so I wanted to instead of making a beat with it or something like that, or freak the beat of whatever. I wanted to just recreate it in my own way, like how I heard it. J Dilla Read Quote
Variety has always been in my mind: to do something totally different. I’ve had a parallel career since the beginning. On one track, the TV and film, the other, theatre, but they never crossed. Sylvester McCoy Read Quote
