I think failure is nothing more than life’s way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. It is liberating. Most people attach failure to something not working out or how people perceive you. This way, it is about answering to yourself. Sara Blakely Read Quote

I don’t really listen to the radio anymore, but some of the more contemporary people I like are Stereolab, Spiritualize, Yo La Tengo and Bedhead. There are other things too, like Pavement.

When you’re a kid, what you learn in school about being German has a sort of heaviness about it, and you have a sort of guilt with you. Juergen Teller Read Quote
In an industry that’s uncertain and when you’re in a lot of situations that are anxiety-causing, to have someone there who has your back unconditionally and cares for you and the material and would give anything to make sure everything is OK, makes you feel so much better. It gives you a sense of security as an artist. Dee Rees Read Quote
