New York's cultural currency is one of the highest in the world, because everybody can relate to it at some point.

Play is the best way to learn new skills.

'Play' within a framework for exploration with rules and with an approach means you can genuinely discover new things and build them into something specific.

Have the bravery to find those people, put yourself out there, and try to create work with them.

Putting your money where your mouth is; if you got an idea, or you got something that you want to make, just make it! Find the people around you to get together and to create that idea.

I think, most importantly, it's about doing stuff instead of wishing you had done stuff.

Sometimes bravery, in the creative space, means letting go of a little bit of control.

There's a real opportunity for us as creative people to take risks in the work that we do, based on our gut instincts .
