00:13:58 "The greatest originals are the ones who fail the most, because they're the ones who try the most. Take classical music, the icons of the field: Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. They had to generate hundreds and hundreds of compositions to come up with a much smaller number of masterpieces."
00:14:20 "The more output you churn out, the more variety you get and the better your chances of stumbling onto something truly original."
