Like, I was walking along earlier with Richard, trying to figure out the kickstarter campaign, and what you could charge at the door for events, and I brought up my last movie, About Cherry. I gave an example of a time when someone doubted a decision I made, so I went with them because they had more experience, and my original gut feeling turned out to be right. Then I followed with an example where my gut feeling had been wrong. Turns out it's fifty/fifty. The major difference being you don't regret following your gut, or your passions, or the person you love.

Why is that? When you follow your heart and you're wrong at least you followed your heart. What's that other saying: There's no fruit more bitter than a heart overruled. Obviously, I'm making these sayings up, but I think I like that one.
