Like Love, Art ties together all the great sacred traditions because they all used creative expression, or we wouldn't know about them.
I truly enjoyed my time with Manson and have the greatest respect for the incredible fans. I am grateful to have contributed over two dozen songs to his projects. It was a great creative outlet for me at that point in my career.
Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people.
I'm not a very creative person, you know? I'm not really an art person. I'm not a great reader or writer or artist or musician.
As a designer, design director or any creative person, you have to hire great people, support them and make them feel comfortable so they can contribute and give you their best.
But I think Steve's main contribution besides just the pure leadership is his passion for excellence. He's a perfectionist. Good enough isn't good enough. And also his creative spirit. You know he really, really wants to do something great.
You try things creatively all the time, and while you want every one of them to be great, and you set out to do that, that's not always going to end up being the case.
A great dream of mine would be to run a design studio full of scientists who think about science as creatively as if they were doing art.

I have noticed... that men usually leave married women alone and are inclined to treat all wives with respect. This is no great credit to married women.
Until 1869, when they were banned, debtors' prisons were the great incinerators of British reputations. Those who were unable to pay their bills were jailed until their creditors were paid - an unlikely event, given that the prisoner was unable to work.
Wouldn't it be great to see a line in all movie credits that truthfully says, 'Nobody was harmed in the making of this film, and at the cast party, all animals got a belly belly belly rub.'
People in great institutions are occasionally credulous.
The danger to society is not merely that it should believe wrong things, though that is great enough; but that it should become credulous, and lose the habit of testing things and inquiring into them; for then it must sink back into savagery.
The Comedy Store in LA, it's a really loose room and it's really dark and creepy and a great place to explore your own thoughts onstage.
One afternoon when I was 9, my dad told me I'd be skipping school the next day. Then we drove 12 hours from Melbourne to Sydney for the Centenary Test, a once-in-a-lifetime commemorative cricket match. It was great fun - especially for a kid who was a massive sports fan.
I just think it's great in cricket to come into a team environment. It's the first time I've ever experienced it.
