“Crash diets don't work.They don't work for losing weight, they don't work for making sales quota and they don't work for getting and keeping a job.The reason they don't work has nothing to do with what's on the list of things to be done (or consumed). No, the reason they don't work is that they don't change habits, and habits are where our lives and careers and bodies are made.”

“If you don't know how it works, find out. If you're not sure if it will work, try it. If it doesn't make sense, play with it until it does. If it's not broken, break it. If it might not be true, find out.”

“The Cul-de-Sac ( French for "dead end" ) ... is a situation where you work and work and work and nothing much changes”

“...treasure what it means to do a day's work. It's our one and only chance to do something productive today, and it's certainly not available to someone merely because he is the high bidder. A day's work is your chance to do art, to create a gift, to do something that matters. As your work gets better and your art becomes more important, competition for your gifts will increase and you'll discover that you can be choosier about whom you give them to.”

“The people who are the best in the world specialize at getting really good at the questions they don't know.”

“I think art is the ability to change people with your work, to see things as they are and then create stories, images, and interactions that change the marketplace.”

“To be willing to do new things you don't think you'll like requires you to prefer the unknown. Not just tolerate it, but to prefer it.”
