Peter Max Quotes

You're not always going to hit the bull's-eye. I'm going to make movies that work and I'm going to make movies that don't work, and that's just a part of being creative. Because really, I think if you're taking risks and you're pushing yourself and you're doing things that scare you, you are going to fall on your face, and it's not always going to work.

Go, and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here.

To swear off making mistakes is very easy. All you have to do is swear off having ideas.

If you can't make a mistake, you can't make anything.

IF you are not making mistakes, then you are not doing anything.

Perhaps creativity is fumbling that dance step, or driving the chisel the wrong way into the stone.

It's how creativity works. Especially in humans. For every good idea, ten thousand idiotic ones must first be posed, sifted, tried out, and discarded. A mind that's afraid to toy with the ridiculous will never come up with the brilliantly original.

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.

I have a theory that the only original things we ever do are mistakes.

I love to be creative.

Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found.

In order to be creative you have to be allowed to fail.

Creativity makes a leap, then looks to see where it is.

You've got to push yourself harder. You've got to start looking for pictures nobody else could take. You've got to take the tools you have and probe deeper.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail

There is no science in creativity. If you don't give yourself room to fail, you won't innovate.

When you're building a show from the ground up, there are no answers or wrong move, because there's no bible.

I have made some mistakes. No, a lot of mistakes. If you want to develop a new thing, a lot of mistakes will be inevitable. We should be allowed to make mistakes.

The team that makes the most mistakes usually wins, because doers make mistakes

Being wrong doesn't mean being creative - but if you aren't afraid of being wrong, you can't be creative.

If you want to be inventive, you have to be willing to fail.

Always make new mistakes.

Creativity is not an ability that you either have or do not have. It is, for example, and this may surprise you, absolutely unrelated to IQ, provided you're intelligent above a certain minimal level.

Creativity is just connecting things.
