What you discover when you look at creativity from the perspective of the brain is that it is universal. We're all creative all of the time, we can't help but be creative.

Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value. It is a process; it's not random.

I consider creativity to be a more non-rational, subconscious thing. You have a relationship to your creativity - you can feed it with content, with some rational prodding and sleep and things like that, but the mechanisms by which your creativity work are largely unknown.

Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found.

Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.

It's impossible to explain creativity. It's like asking a bird, 'How do you fly?' You just do.

Creativity is how we cope with creation. While creation sometimes seems a bit un-graspable, or even pointless, creativity is always meaningful.

The nature of creativity is to make space for things to happen... We can drive it out with our busyness and plans.

Creativity is merely a plus name for regular activity. Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better.
