S1E17: Makoto Fujimura on How to Think Like An Artist to Create Something New 

“The idea flows out of the experiential reality for an artist. A dancer knows her body more than she knows rationally how the body works. The body knows, instinctively  what it can do and what it cannot do. But the dancer will try to do the impossible. You're actually pushing back against what you think is impossible. As artists, we are always trying to ask the impossible questions.”

"I think the biggest danger is that people who are unfamiliar with Agile start off by saying, "Well, let's work on something that isn't altogether that important. And therefore, if it doesn't work, what's the big deal?" And the problem is if you're working on something that doesn't really matter, then you're going to have a tough time getting some of the best people in the company to work on it because who wants to work on something that doesn't really matter?" - Darrell Rigby
