I believe that there are two ways to look at a blank sheet of paper. The first way is that the blank sheet is the most frightening thing in the world because you have to put down the first mark and figure out what to do with it. The other way is to look at it and say, wow, I ve got another blank piece of paper. This is the greatest opportunity in the world because I can now let my imaginaron fly in any direcron and I can create whole new things. I have spent a good part of my life convincing people that the blank sheet is the greatest opportunity in the world and is not frightening at all. ~ Marty Sklar, Execu=ve Vice President/Imagineering Ambassador, Walt Disney Imagineering
