Safe? I wrote my greatest music after the hearing was gone, when every sensible man would have stopped.

I left the archbishop's livery with nothing but my ears, and I would do it again before breakfast.

Pally, I'll tell you what I told everybody who ever handed me advice.

Pops, I came up with nothing but a cornet and the joy in it, and that horn fed me my whole life.

Safe is just another word for letting somebody else own you.

I made my first feature for six thousand pounds, shooting on weekends with friends, because constraint sharpens everything.

Safe is a word people use when they have stopped drawing. But listen, the idea is worthless until you have suffered over it.

Fear is a signal you're near something real, so don't retreat, engineer.

Honey, I spent fifteen years hearing no before the yes, so don't talk to me about safe.

I wrote my first scripts behind the counter of a video store making minimum wage, okay?

Research until you own the subject completely, that comes before any money moves.

When film school turned me down, I found my way onto the Universal lot anyway, because the pull was that strong.

Safe. Safe is a lie, my friend. You know what safe gets you?

A man's got to know his limitations. Find out what this idea costs to test, not to finish.

First: safe and scared are not the same thing. Sometimes safe is just scared with a savings account.

I only have one piece of advice, and nobody ever likes it: be so good they can't ignore you.

Okay. "Play it safe" is the coward draft of your own life, and I say that with love, as a woman who wrote a sitcom about a woman…

Yo, I've seen what betting everything does to people, and it ain't pretty.

Hmm. There is no safe path. Only paths with different monsters on them.

Okay so, um, first, make a list. Non-negotiables. What the savings has to cover, how many months, what the standard is.

Let me tell you how I did it. I did not empty my purse on a dream.

Where you come from doesn't decide what you can make, but pretending you have no constraints is lying with ingredients.

Bet on it, and let me help you set the table first. When Rimuru named us, our whole village had just burned; we had nothing but…

Dude, okay, I don't know your life, but here's what I know. Finneas and I made the whole first album in his bedroom with a…

Fasten your seat belt, because you already know the answer and you want someone to say it with authority.

Well, I'm the wrong person to ask about safety. I got a job in the theatre and married a sculptor, which is two of the least safe…

Listen. I grew up in an apartment where the rats ate the faces off my dolls.

Okay, so, the safe version is a story you are telling yourself to feel better, and I know that because I told it for years.
