Don't worry about mistakes. Making things out of mistakes, that's creativity.

I always wanted to be really experimental.

The three foundations of judgement: Bold Design, Constant Practice, and Frequent Mistakes.

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'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.

We’re taught to do things the right way. But if you want to discover something that other people haven’t, you need to do things the wrong way.

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

When I'm making stuff, the thing that excites me most is not the result, but the process and trying to do something I've never done before.

We love it when we make mistakes that are better than something you could think up.

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.

I want to see creativity that breaks boundaries and isn't just about money.

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

For me, as an artist, I think you have to experiment.

Half of art is accident, but there is no accident without free experiment.
