As my final word on authenticity for now, I leave you with this clip from an interview with the magnificent Orson Welles.

Q: You got away with enormous technical advances, didn’t you?
A: Simply by not knowing that they were impossible.

“I didn’t know there were things you couldn’t do.”

What a gift that is, an invitation to forget what you know, what you’ve been warned against doing, and to approach your creative work with a fresh gaze.

Whatever you want to do, no matter how implausible, pretend that you don’t know it’s impossible, and make a plan to get it done.

Do it anyway.
