I love to see how far you're able to go, both in skills but also emotionally how far I can push myself.
I always consult five to ten people who are hardcore fans, to see how far I can push a role. When they go, "Wait a second, you can't do that! That's a sin!," you go, "Okay, fine, we're not going to do that. We tried too far."
How far can you push a rope? Not very far. That's why true influencers don't push.
Sometimes we know not where or how far we are going until we stop and think about just how far we have come and why.
Perhaps we'll never know how far the path can go, how much a human being can truly achieve, until we realize that the ultimate reward is not a gold medal but the path itself.
I never hand in a book until it's completed. Richard Jackson then reads it and asks me to clarify murky points. We work very well together. He knows how hard to push, and I know how hard to push back. He's the only person who can criticize my work without me throwing a hissy fit.
We don't need to dumb down our stuff. And it's important to know how far we can push readers.
I never know what I'm going to wear until five minutes before I go somewhere... I guess I know what I'm comfortable in. I don't know how to describe that, I mean you either put it on and go 'no way' or 'OK, let's go.'
One ought to go too far, in order to know how far one can go.
I just want to push the barriers and see what I can do and how far I can go. I am just determined and driven.
If you take any activity, any art, any discipline, any skill-take it and push it as far as it will go, push it beyond where it has ever been before, push it to the wildest edges of edges, then you force it into the realm of magic.
When you push someone too far, they will push back and they push hard.
If I see a door ajar, I push on it to see how far it will open, and if it opens wide I go through it.
The artist must know how far to go too far.
I still have the drive. I just want to push the barriers and see what I can do and how far I can go. I am just determined and driven.
For me, it was just a case of seeing what stage I could actually get to. For every kid it's the same, you don't know how far you can go until you get a bit older and things start to become a reality.
