start

"Is starting hard? You know it is. I don't know what you do when you start, but I clean my desk; I make a lot of stupid appointments that sound important; avoidance, delay, denial. I'm always scared that I'm not going to know what to do. It's a terrifying moment. And then when I start, I'm always amazed: 'Oh, that wasn't so bad.'"
- Frank Gehry

motivated to make people happy

"You have to make mistakes to grow." "Enjoy the trip to the party as much as the party."
- Frank Gehry [born 1929]
