“I tend to forget what I'm doing will ever be read while I'm writing it, and just get on with the task at hand.”
“For the past few years, I've been more selective than I have any right to be, but I think that's finally starting to work in my favor. I think I get way too much credit for making what people consider to be smart choices, but it's only because I made a decision to stop worrying about making money.”
