Whats the source of the following quote?

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd
never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be
cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the
time and build your wings on the way down.
- Ray Bradbury

by that i mean i want a book title, article, or interview where it was first used.

Thanks

Brown Daily Herald. Bradbury gave a speech at Brown University in
1995.
