Highlights:
On the importance of talking to your team members
“As long as we have really good communication, there are a lot of ways to correct a problem in the middle of a workstream. When people are talking and not just doing their piece of the work, you never get to a point where you put it together and it doesn't work.”
On being a generalist
“In advertising, there are so many different businesses and specialties—they've divided themselves over the years because they've figured out where they can make money. We’ve collapsed that. [By doing so] we have total control. And that allows us to behave like a rock band.”
On learning over expertise
“I don't put huge stock in specific technical skills. People that thrive working with me are those who want to learn, who want to be challenged, and who are okay with a subjective goal.”
On provocation
“I think an artist’s job is not to tell us what to think, but to get us to think for ourselves—about the things that we take for granted.”
