Favorite quotes from this talk See all
Creative people have a very low pain tolerance. We get sick of people telling us the way to do things and how things should be done, so we find our own way.
You can teach collaboration, but you can't teach rebellious behavior.
It's never been easier to stand out in the clutter because there is so much clutter. Being thoughtfully rebellious, allows us to apply our messages and designs and photography in ways that we can find unique things and unique messages.
The rebel almost always dies.
They are willing to be entertained. They are willing to be engaged. You just have to find where that communication can happen.
