"The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug; it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear and pleasure; it's a little like making love, the physical act of love."
"There is a paradox at the heart of our lives. Most people want more income and strive for it. Yet as Western societies have got richer, their people have become no happier."

"From digital agencies winning traditional above-the-line assignments to branding agencies working across all consumer touch-points, to media owners cutting out the advertising middle-man, to YouTubers making their own ads, the marketer's options just exploded. And with this explosion some control - control over how a brand is portrayed, perceived - must be ceded."


"People go shopping to cheer themselves up - because their job is depressing; their boss is a bitch; their spouse is having an affair; they feel trapped and bored and short on glamour ... It might work in the short term. Well of course it does."
