128. MAKE SURE TO MARRY YOUR BEST FRIEND IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY. I DON’T CARE IF THEY’RE THE SAME SEX AS YOU AND YOU’RE NOT GAY, MARRY THAT MOTHERFUCKER.
One day Tom Waits was driving on a Los Angeles freeway when a fragment of a melody popped into his head. He looked around for something to capture the tune – a pencil or pen – but had nothing to record it.
He started to panic that he d lose the melody and be haunted by it forever and his talent would be gone. In the midst of this anxiety attack he suddenly stopped looked at the sky and said to whatever force it was that was trying to create itself through the melody “Excuse me. Can you not see I’m driving? Do I look like I can write down a song right now? If you really want to exist come back at a more opportune moment… otherwise go bother somebody else today. Go bother Leonard Cohen.”
Waits said his creative process and the heavy anxiety that permeated it changed that day. In releasing the creative force he realized that creativity “could be a peculiar wondrous bizarre collaboration and conversation between Tom and the strange external genius that was not Tom,” — Gilbert said.

The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.
You’ve got to get shit happening – you can talk about it, you can write it down, it means nothing until you actually make it and think f**k that’s nothing like what I thought it was going to be! That happens most of the time.
So don’t follow the money. Follow the excitement. The people inventing the future are doing so just because it’s fun.

Depending on where you are in the world, you may or may not know that London, home of both MOO and most of it’s employees, has been overcome by snow. We don’t do ‘weather’ well in this country, really — whatever weather we get, it always comes as a bit of a shock, and so buses, trains, tubes etc are still working out if they can run or not. At time of writing, most are favouring 'not’.
Большинство детей, обычных детей… Даёшь им ножницы — и они режут.
А Тони… У него ДЦП. И когда я дала ножницы ему, у нас было вместе целое приключение. Учились вставлять пальцы в колечки, раскрывать ножницы, держать бумагу… Когда он всё-таки научился разрезать бумагу, мы оба просто… плакали от радости.
