Everything I’ve ever been a fan of, whether it’s Star Wars or the New York Jets, I’ve also been very hard on at times. It’s sort of like, I go to a Jets game, I want them to win, but the minute they fumble the ball, I go, “I fking knew it! Fking Jets!” That’s part of loving something.

I can’t live my life under the sort of “I cannot fail” philosophy, because then every time I do fail, which feels more inevitable than me being perfect all the time, it’s going to be soul crushing. And more importantly, I’ll never take any risks.
