My parents taught me to believe that through the creative act, we're able to transcend and give a response to desecration.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything. And I really believe that. And what I try to teach young people, or anybody in any creative field, is that every idea should seemingly be outrageous.
The creativity of childhood was often surrendered amid feelings of unworthiness. So the idea that others are demanding to be given it back - to be 'taught' - is disturbing.
My parents always pushed creativity on us, but they made it seem like the fun thing to do.
You cannot be an educator or a teacher without relating to children with full insight. Their urge to imitate has been transformed into a receptivity based on a natural and uncontested relationship of authority, and you must take this into account in the broadest possible sense.
It is the mystery of the creative act that something other than our conscious self takes over.
My parents made me believe I could do anything I wanted to do. They were really into empowering me.
My parents are creative on many fronts, and they pushed me to be that way, too. They wanted me to write, actually.
An education which does not cultivate the will is an education that depraves the mind.
My parents instilled something greater than myself. They instilled faith in me.
The creative process is a process of surrender, not control.
