“There is something that is much more scarce, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability.”
“As I've moved along - not only my life, but my career and things like that - you look at yourself and start going, 'Oh, man, are you still doing what you set out to do? Are the ideals you had still the same?' Sometimes you measure up and sometimes you don't.”
