John Cleese - a lecture on Creativity #2

In this clip Mr. Cleese explains 5 things you need to arrive at what he calls the "open mode." Space, time, time (again, a different kind), confidence and humor. The open mode, he explains is where you mentally need to be in order to "play" which leads to ideas. He also explains to not settle for the first solution you come to, press on to explore other ideas until the absolute deadline. According to  John Cleese this method yields a more creative answer, "Creativity is not a talent, it is a way of operating."
