The following is an excerpt from a podcast I did recently in French. I was the guest of Pauline Laigneau, who is a great interviewer, and this podcast seemed to resonate so much with the listeners that I decided to translate some parts in English.
In it, I talk about creativity, and forging your own path…
“I don’t judge people anymore. Not the same way, anyway. If someone does something and it’s ugly, if their business idea is a disaster and I hate it, I don’t judge that anymore.
I tell myself “They woke up in the morning, and they made something. They gathered their courage and they made something.” And I love that.
It’s people who do. And who fail as well. But tomorrow they’ll come back with a better idea. And this time it will be the right one.
Even influencers who self-promote to death, you see them on the street coming and going, up and down for their photo, and it’s shit and it’s ridiculous and we all mock it, but, first, I was doing that twenty years ago.
And they’re doing something.
And maybe one day they’ll find the thread towards their talent.
So if you’re listening and if you are doing, you have all my admiration because what is difficult—but what is the most important in life—is action.
Life is action.”
