"I think the problem most designers have is the desire to do something unique. They want to get their unique ideas out there, but they want to force it on their audiences. I have my unique ideas, too, but I understand that you have to look at what is the current trend and use it as an avenue for accessing your audience in order to move them along to your unique ideas. Total originality will alienate your audience, as they don't understand your vision and they're simply trying to buy what looks cool. That is, what's in style. That is, what's trendy." - me, in an interview with SeaNYC that got me a freelance job doing shirt design

"I guess that's the curse of replicating the Pop scene, eh? You've got to do what the Pop artists did, and everyone knows Andy Warhol got famous for swagger-jacking." - Jacob Patterson, in an interview for paintorthread.com

"Creativity is not necessarily absolute originality, but rather bridging those gaps to your original ideas." - Professor Upton of UCLA, on the idea that to be creative you must still have a means to access your original ideas

"Do a great job of leading, and - when necessary - use words." - Mark Jackson
