TAKASHI MURAKAMI

. "If just looking at one project, then immediately get the feeling I boring."

I don't know why he refers to this as a weak point, I think it is a good way to work. Having multiple projects at once keeps your mind rolling, one stimulates the next.

. "I used to think that my staff were motivated by money, but the most important thing for creative people is the sense that they are learning."

. "I threw out my general life, so that I can make a concentration for my job. You maybe expecting more romantic story?"

. "the names of the twenty-five people who worked on the piece are written on the back of the canvas"

I like this, I don't see why this wouldn't be done? I know it isn't their vision, but it became their work and they should be credited somehow. 

. "Murakami is a stickler for documenting every layer of a painting ...and look back on the layers to reproduce similar effects in future works."

. "Superflat -- the artist's works flatten the distinctions between art and luxury goods, high and popular culture, East and West."
