Favorite quotes from this talk See all
Creativity is not a department. It's actually a culture.
It's unsafe to play it safe— and I've got a chart proving that!
At the end of the day it's not how many hours you work, it's your output.
It's not that creatives are insane - it's that we're passionate about weird shit, and you need to celebrate that weird shit that we care about.
Art just gets to be weird, provoking you, crazy or beautiful. We as creatives actually have to try to make something happen.
