Gore Verbinski
American Director
My respect for artists is very high. I think to get the most out of them, you have to liberate them. I think part of liberating them is saying, 'Come up with something brilliant, new, and fresh. Stop thinking based on what has been beat into you by executives or publishers in terms of what's going to work and what's not. Don't react, just act.

Geoff Dyer
English Writer

But by the time my fourth book came out, previously unpublished authors were the new big thing.
