Read an Excerpt

“Too many families and schools discourage creativity. I left home because I was determined to do what I wanted to do.”

------- Edward Albee, Pulitzer Prize-winning Playwright

“It’s my belief that an artist should give people new glasses and a new cubistic approach to looking at themselves.”

---------- Julie Taymor, Theater and Film Director

“I’m always trying to do things that no one has ever seen before.”

---------- James Rosenquist, Artist

“I think to be creative you have to resist taking the easy path.

--------- Daniel Libeskind, Architect

“If you think “I want to be famous,” or “I want to make a lot of money,” my sense is that you don’t go into most creative jobs.”

-------- David Halberstam, Pulitzer Prize-wiining author

“The motivation for creativity is most often the need to express your ideas to other people.”

-------- Spike Lee, Film Director

“We knew we had something so huge that Steve (Jobs) and I couldn’t do it by ourselves.”

-------- Steve Wozniak, Co-founder of Apple Computer

“I have always felt that, for me, creativity was really using excess energy.”

-------- Dale Chihuly, Renowned Glass Sculptor

“People get enraged at me because they think women should not write about the things I write about, because the things that I write about, in some way, break with their notion of what a woman should be.”

--------- Erica Jong, Best-selling Author

“There’s a conflict between professionalism that calls for minimizing risk, while creativity encourages risk.”

---------- Milton Glaser, Designer

    Creative people should read

    I believe that style of creative people should read the book. There are many creativity people that don't get recognized, and this book gathers some of them to tell their story. It's a way to learn what others have done to get there work in museums and Broadway. Many give advice that we should take in consideration to achieve what they have. The only think that bothers me is that the list is basically made up of men and I wonder if the women are falling behind. I hope maybe one day I will be able to make the list next to great names.
