In December 1989, my mother died very suddenly, and that sparked a re-evaluation of what I was doing, and I realized I was mediocre at everything. I was a mediocre IBM employee, I was a mediocre entrepreneur, I was a mediocre artist. I decided that, although my mom wouldn't be around to see it, I wanted to be great at something.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Im Dezember 1989 starb meine Mutter sehr plötzlich, was eine Neubewertung meiner Tätigkeit auslöste, und mir wurde klar, dass ich bei allem mittelmäßig war. Ich war ein mittelmäßiger IBM-Angestellter, ich war ein mittelmäßiger Unternehmer, ich war ein mittelmäßiger Künstler. Ich entschied, dass obwohl meine Mutter nicht in der Nähe sein würde, wollte ich etwas großartig machen.
