Successful people are the ones who are breaking the rules.

The only thing all successful people have in common is that they're successful, so don't waste your time copying "the successful strategies" of others.

Popular is not the same important, or often, not the same as good.

I think art is the ability to change people with your work, to see things as they are and then create stories, images, and interactions that change the marketplace.

The tragedy is that society (your school, your boss, your government, your family) keeps drumming the genius part out. The problem is that our culture has engaged in a Faustian bargain, in which we trade our genius and artistry for apparent stability.

What we most need in our lives, though, is something worth doing, worth it because we care.

If you're not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it's almost certain you're not reaching your potential as a leader.
