Rod Judkins
“When you're small, you have little to lose. There's no pressure. You can take huge risks, like running radical and original ad campaigns. You can make edgy and ground-breaking films, exhibitions, or books. You don't have to consider your reputation, colossal studio, staff, or agents. If you're unknown, make the most of your freedom.”
Rod Judkins, Lie like an artist: Communicate successfully by focusing on essential truths

Rod Judkins
“Politicians, religious leaders, and authorities tell you to trust them because they're the experts with the answers. They make a big show of being trustworthy. That's why I don't trust them. I only trust someone who tells me not to trust them.”
Rod Judkins, Lie like an artist: Communicate successfully by focusing on essential truths
