Ray Bradbury // "Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't 'try' to do things. You simply 'must' do things."

J.K. Rowling // "We do not need magic to change the world...we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better."

Alber Elbaz // "I hate the word cool. It gives me a rash... It's a cool party, a cool person... What does that mean? I'm more interested in things that have a certain individuality, a certain soul, a certain longevity, emotion, fragility."

Pearl S. Buck // "The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: a human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him, a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy...and failure is death. Add to this...the overpowering necessity to create, create, create — so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him...By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating."

Ayrton Senna da Silva // "I continuously go further and further....learning about my own limitations, my body limitations, psychological limitations. It's a way of life for me."

Jon Stewart // "Every generation has their challenge. And things change rapidly, and life gets better in an instant."

Jessica Lange // "The idea of just trusting in the absolute moment that it's happening...That idea of entering into something with no fear or deliberation...just throwing yourself at it, is exciting."

Bill Murray // "The human condition means that we can zone out and forget what the hell we're doing...so the secret is to have a sense of yourself, your real self, your unique self...and not just once in a while, or once a day, but all through the day, the week and life."
