The trick to being truly creative, I’ve always maintained, is to be completely unselfconscious. To resist the urge to self-censor. To not-give-a-shit what anybody thinks. That’s why children are so good at it. And why people with Volkswagens, and mortgages, Personal Equity Plans and matching Louis Vuitton luggage are not.
A short lesson on perspective. He’s talking about the ad industry but it works for any creative business…
To resist the urge to self-censor. I totally do not resist these days and that’s not good.
