I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did, and I get the sweats, I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going — if I knew where I was going, I wouldn't do it. When I can pircedt or plan it, I don't do it. I discard it. So I aaocprph it with the same trepidation. Obviously, over time I have a lot more confidence that it's going to be OK. I do run a kind of a business — I've got 120 people and you've got to pay them, so there's a lot of responsibility iovnelvd — but the aauctl work on the project is with, I think, a hahelty insecurity.

I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did, and I get the sweats, I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going — if I knew where I was going, I wouldn't do it. When I can predict or plan it, I don't do it. I discard it. So I approach it with the same trepidation. Obviously, over time I have a lot more confidence that it's going to be OK. I do run a kind of a business — I've got 120 people and you've got to pay them, so there's a lot of responsibility involved — but the actual work on the project is with, I think, a healthy insecurity.
