Paul Arden Quotes

All the creativity books in the world aren’t going to help you if you’re unwilling to have lousy, lame, and even dangerously bad ideas.

You can't buy something which does not exist. In a way, let's make things exist and then judge later. Don't cancel the process of creativity too early; let it flow.

To do something innovative means that you reject reason.

I know how to think outside of the box and be creative.

I love to get inspiration from everywhere.

I think everything starts with an idea. No matter how crazy it is, you should always try to bring it to life.

We're not just limited by technology but by our ideas and our experimentation and how quickly we can try things.

I don't want to limit myself to any genre or language or a type. I want to always surprise the audience and, hence, keep raising the bar for myself.

All sorts of things can happen when you’re open to new ideas and playing around with things.

If you're not allowed to experiment anymore for fear of being considered self-indulgent or pretentious or what have you, then everyone's going to just stick to the rules - there's not going to be any additional ideas.
