For me, creativity includes problem-solving. That's the broad definition of it.

I love solving the problems of having groups work together and removing barriers. But to actually turn around and be in the center of that is an awkward place to be.

Success hides problems...you don't need to address problems.

If you give a good idea to a mediocre group, they'll screw it up. If you give a mediocre idea to a good group, they'll fix it. Or they'll throw it away and come up with something else.

Every creative person can draft into service those around them who exhibit the right mixture of intelligence, insight, and grace.

If everyone is trying to prevent error, it screws things up.

You can give a great film idea to a mediocre team and they may screw it up, but if you give a mediocre idea to a great team, they will turn it into a great film.
