Steven Soderbergh on confidence-vs-ego

"It's a strange line you have to walk between confidence – which is a good thing, you need confidence in order to lead people, to have people want to give you your – and ego.

Ego is what keeps you from hearing what the thing wants to be. The thing has to be above all of us, we are all submitting to what the thing wants to be. It tells you what it wants to be, if you're paying attention. What happens is, if you do that, you'll have ideas that don't work, that the thing spits out, but eventually the ratio of things that work begins to increase, because you begin to get a sense of the algorithm of what it wants." (Steven Soderbergh)

Talent is great, but relationships get you hired.
