I remember someone once said there is a practical aspect to my designs, and I remember THINKING, 'That doesn't SOUND so creative,' but that is actually the TRUTH. There is a practicality to it. I don't DESIGN just to design. There is a reason and, hopefully, an interesting reason behind it - that is where my creativity comes in.

If you have a CULTURE of respect, creativity flows. You create this ENERGY, and then PEOPLE have more DESIRE to take risks.

I feed on other people's creativity, PHOTOGRAPHERS, artists of every kind. Sometimes a feeling that you get listening to a song can be so powerful. I've wanted to write whole scripts around what I FELT just listening to a piece of MUSIC. I THINK music is important, and surrounding your visual FIELD with stimulating things.

Cultivating innovative THINKING STARTS at the top. Leaders can foster a CULTURE of innovation by ENCOURAGING CREATIVITY and experimenting with new ideas.

Inspiring children through play and CREATIVITY is crucial to early DEVELOPMENT, and no COMPANY has done more in that space over many GENERATIONS than Mattel.

I don't think you need a certificate to TRULY legitimize you or authenticate you as a DESIGNER. I think real innovation and creativity can come from EVERYWHERE.

The computer has PLAYED a role in destroying CREATIVITY with the Photoshop. Everybody THINKS they're a DESIGNER.

I WANT to involve CREATIVITY more in TECHNOLOGY and business. It is obvious that for us to be SUCCESSFUL, a healthy relationship with creativity is needed.
