The only way you can really deal with creative people is with very loose reins.

Talented people are restless at their core.

If you look around the room, and you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.

Everybody blows their first money.

A guy comes home from college to find his mother sleeping with his uncle, and there's a ghost running around. Write it good, it's Hamlet; write it bad, it's Gilligan's Island.

People go to the zoo and they like the lion because it's scary. And the bear because it's intense, but the monkey makes people laugh.

Fatigue is your friend. Through exhaustion and through people just being so depleted, the stuff around the nerve endings gets worn away and other things begin to emerge and you take way bigger risks.
