Agency Quote by Jay Chiat

“I'm uncomfortable when I'm comfortable. I have to start something…” quote by Jay Chiat — Download Open image

“I'm uncomfortable when I'm comfortable. I have to start something new-in the agency or in my personal life-every two years or so. Taking risks gives me energy. I can't help it, it's my personality. I'd like to think it's not really a compulsion toward high risks, but the spirit of an entrepreneur.”
