The best things and best people rise out of their separateness; I'm against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.
Being in the same room with people and creating something together is a good thing.
For me, architecture is not just creating a space to protect people but to make them dream as well.
To me, democratic socialism means democracy. It means creating a government that represents all of us, not just the wealthiest people in the country.
There are many very educated people who are religious, but they're not creationists.
In the most important sense a creationist is a person who believes in creation, and that includes people who believe that Genesis is a myth and that creation involved a process called evolution and consumed billions of years.
Among adults, we can admit that of course, characters are creations. They aren't real people.
Maybe, just maybe, we shall at last come to care for the most important, most challenging, surely the most satisfying of all architectural creations: building cities for people to live in.
My whole life, I've always had to be surrounded by creative things. I find it relaxing to be in touch with creations by other people.
All creative people want to do the unexpected.
The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything. And I really believe that. And what I try to teach young people, or anybody in any creative field, is that every idea should seemingly be outrageous.
I hope people start to look at their lives as the most powerful, creative act they will ever offer this world.
I've been wanting to produce for some time because I want to have more creative control over the things that I do and not be victim to the whims of other people's desires.
I just do things that I'm interested in making and work with the people I'm interested in working with, and it's very important for me to maintain the creative control because, otherwise, I just don't want to do it.
As a chef, I got into this because I love the creative energy and I love the science, but I also love to feed people and make them happy.
When I started doing magic I was quite obsessive about it. I didn't feel impressive and I had a strong desire to impress people. I was putting all my creative energy into learning and performing tricks, and it helps if you're not in relationships or doing the stuff other people are doing. But it's not necessarily a healthy way of living.
The pop industry is so well-practised at channelling young people's creative energy that I think it gets abused.
Really in technology, it's about the people, getting the best people, retaining them, nurturing a creative environment and helping to find a way to innovate.
When you work in a creative environment, people get protective about their ideas. Sometimes it's justified; sometimes it's about ego.
I don't necessarily enjoy playing concerts, although that has gotten more fun with a band. But the one thing I always have enjoyed is making records and being in that creative environment. And that has become a lot more enjoyable having other people involved.
