“It’s 100% true that one of the most exciting things you can do is try something new. It’s one of the most exciting things you can do in life. After you’ve done something thousands of times you become better at it and ideally you get some great joy in doing it. Maybe you’re able to get your ideas on paper or canvas or on an album or whatever in a much clearer way after you feel like you’ve kind of mastered something, but there’s also something truly magical about starting something new, about not knowing what the fuck you’re doing. I’m always kind of chasing that. I’ll be honest with you, I still hear that goddamn critic go, “You don’t know what you’re doing!” I hear it and I’m like, “Where did you come from?” It’s just fear.”
