Doing risk sport had taught me another important lesson: never exceed your limits. You push the envelope and you live for those moments when you’re right on the edge, but you don’t go over.

There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge... observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination. ↗

No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong. ↗

Hollywood is the only industry, even taking in soup companies, which does not have laboratories for the purpose of experimentation. ↗
