Any time there's a lot of pressure, it's life and death, you go toward this very dark kind of humor. Soldiers do it. Cops do it.
Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea.
Creative thinking is not a talent, it is a skill that can be learned. It empowers people by adding strength to their natural abilities which improves teamwork, productivity and, where appropriate, profits.
Sometimes the situation is only a problem because it is looked at in a certain way. Looked at in another way, the right course of action may be so obvious that the problem no longer exists.
There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.
You can analyse the past, but you need to design the future. That is the difference between suffering the future and enjoying it.
Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.
I got married and basically forgot about Elvis. Then Speedway came. That was the most fun of all, to see him every day all those weeks.
I strongly believe that marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman. I'm troubled by activist judges who are defining marriage. I've watched carefully what's happened in San Francisco where licenses were being issued, even though the law states otherwise. I have consistently stated that I will support law to protect marriage between a man and a woman. And obviously these events are influencing my decision.
I understand that the rule of fashion is to change, even as a successful designer - you do not want to be stuck in the same rut.
I've always felt that my subject was living in dangerous times.
