Khaled Hosseini
Problems are hidden opportunities, and constraints can actually boost creativity.
Martin Villeneuve

Mo Ibrahim
After I returned from Oxford, I spent 5-6 years in a village in Madhya Pradesh – 25 km. outside Bhopal – along with a group of people working with the communities.

Richard Quest

Vaclav Smil
For me, the scale of the budget is part of the creative process. ‘Swingers’ is the movie it is because we made it for exactly the right budget. Had it been made for a higher number, it would not have been as imaginative as we had to make it, given the budget constraints we had.
Doug Liman
Nobody puts constraints on God. She doesn’t like it.

Maajid Nawaz
They say that structure is freedom, and in a sense it is. When you’re dealing with multiple constraints, you have to figure out what you can get out of that.
