> You don't build by looking at every direction at once. You build by running the race in front of you.

"When you are a racehorse, the reason they put blinders on these things is because if you look at the horse on the left or the horse on the right, you're going to miss a step. When you're running after something you should not look left and right. What does this person think? What does that person think? No. Go!" — Jimmy Iovine
