The music itself is very challenging, so I've never really felt the lack of stimulation. I love to be creating; I love to be making things and solving problems, I suppose, and when I'm not, then I'm not an incredibly good person to be around. If I'm not busy, then I think I would be disaster. That's just the way things are.

Stimulation-wise, I might be a little bit addicted when it comes to pushing my body to extremes.

What makes creative people tingle are interesting problems, the chance to impress their friends, and caffeine.

Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous.

Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm.

It is so powerful when we can leave behind our ordinary identities, no longer think of ourselves primarily as a conductor, or writer, or salesclerk, and go to a supportive environment to deeply immerse in meditation practice.

I can tell you from experience that when you get that pent-up and crazed, it can be distracting.

I think therapy interferes with the creative process. It takes off the edge.
