Andrew Ng Quotes

I guess some people are brilliant enough to be brilliant on their own and never doubt anything and come up with fabulous things. But I think it's good to get into arguments with people and have them say, 'That sucks' or 'You're crazy' or 'That's cheesy' or 'What do you think of this?'

You have to draw on a fair amount of experience in order to be able to put ideas together.

Nothing, believe me, nothing is more satisfying to me personally than getting a great idea and then beatin' it to death.

If you want to have good ideas you must have many ideas. Most of them will be wrong, and what you have to learn is which ones to throw away.

Imagination is the air of mind.

I think that everything is part of creativity - the more you create, the more you have ideas, and the more you meet people.

Bring ideas in and entertain them royally, for one of them may be the king.

I try to stay focused on my creativity.

My good ideas are shy. But if they see that I treat the stupid ideas with respect, they come forward.

It's not enough to tell people to be creative; they need to know how, and what to create.

Being at the genesis of the creative process is definitely something I want to keep doing. It's just such a great buzz.

I pick up inspiration from everywhere and it all manages to keep stored in my brain somewhere.

When the ideas are coming, I don't stop until the ideas stop because that train doesn't come along all the time.

I keep drawing inspiration from people every day. All of a sudden, something strikes me so hard and dramatically, and then a dream comes - I sit down, cut it off and make a script out of it.
