Quotes:
"I heard that 90% of communication is non-verbal, and it's so true. We put too much value in words."
"It's not the what. It's the how."
"You never know in which ways you influence people or potentially change someones life. You may never find out about that."
"You have to be lovingly detached from the ego."
"The best way to not produce any work is to think about the identity of that work."
"Just create what you think the world needs."
"Celebrate the difference."
"So much of creativity is like capturing lightning in a bottle. You can't really control the lightning, so you have to create an environment to capture the lightning."
"You don't tell a tree how to grow. You just water it and then it grows. That's how creativity is."
