Ideas are cheap and easy, and there are a lot of them.

I have too many ideas for a lifetime.

The way to get good ideas is to get lots of ideas and throw the bad ones away.

My problem is not that there are too few ideas out there. It's that there are too many.

Try out your ideas by visualizing them in action.

I'm not like a Sears Catalog of ideas. I don't have that many ideas. I've more or less written them over the years. Usually, I come up with a situation or a character, and it rattles around in my head until the story or the plot emerges.

I do not 'get' ideas; ideas get me.

The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.

Everyone has ideas. They may be too busy or lack the confidence or technical ability to carry them out. But I want to carry them out. It is a matter of getting up and doing it.

I actually don't have a great surplus of ideas. Some evolve very slowly, over many years, but I sort of trust that all of the interesting ones will become something that I eventually end up doing.
