Back to work in 2014: "the work has to scare you..."

http://www.andre-previn.com/pix/default_previn.jpg"One of the reasons I quit the Hollywood scene is that I suddenly realized that the work didn't frighten me anymore. I think that if you're going to do good work, the work has to scare you, and so I made sure that I went into an area where every day was frightening. If you work in a job where you can be praised and get another job without worrying, that's a death trap. It's time to do something else."
