Failures make you stronger. If you fail but persevere, you’ll be far better off than if you had initially succeeded. I’ve seen projects take more than seven years to come to fruition. But in the end, the version produced seven years later was greater than anyone could have fathomed in the beginning. Celeste and Jesse Forever [his latest movie] is a prime example of that. Pick a project and don’t question your belief. In this business as well as others, you have to stick behind what you know is right.

So that’s my message: fail often, fail gracefully, and keep trying.

 — Elijah Wood, from an interview conducted at Ringling College, January 2012. (via newleafrobin)
