Donald Robertson on the Value of an Interdisciplinary Approach to Creativity

So like anything in life, there are kind of pros and cons to it, but I feel with an interdisciplinary approach, combining things that often aren't combined together, recombining them, there's a lot of potential for creativity there, and it's a very exciting way to work. But sometimes it takes a little bit of perseverance, a lot of patience, right? And you also have to have an eye for something that's actually got potential. Of course, you've got to look at something and think, why haven't these two things been combined before? Why? It seems so obvious. And if you spot something like that, and then you're like one of the first people to do it, and you're patient, you persevere, then, you know, I think over time, it can be very rewarding. You can define a niche for yourself that way, as it were.
