I wish somebody had given me the news that ideas don't just fall on your head like fairy dust. You have to treat that like a job. You have to spend hours each day, where you're just like, 'This is the part of the day when I'm looking for an idea.'

Ideas move rapidly when their time comes.

Ideas come from somewhere. People don't come up with these ideas from nowhere. Something triggers your thoughts.

My ideas have undergone a process of emergence by emergency. When they are needed badly enough, they are accepted.

I have reached the point where I know that as long as I sit down to write, the ideas will come. What they will be, I don't know.

What I love about the creative process, and this may sound naive, but it is this idea that one day there is no idea, and no solution, but the next day there is an idea. I find that incredibly exciting and conceptually actually remarkable.

Ideas do not always come in a flash but by diligent trial-and-error experiments that take time and thought.

All good ideas arrive by chance.

Sometimes ideas feel like they were already there, and that you're just discovering them.

All ideas grow out of other ideas.
