If you can’t explain something simply, you don’t understand it.
To become proficient in any field you must practise. There is simply no achievement without practice and the more practice, provided it is done intelligently, the greater will the proficiency be and the sooner will it be attained.

If you do something enough with purpose long enough, you're eventually going to get really good at it.

You have to get comfortable [with your work], you really have to know what you're doing, and it has to be almost boring to you to be able to do it well.
No one's born a good cook. You have to learn and practice.
Anything that's done correctly is easy.
If you are good enough, you should play.
