It's really important to find a humble approach to your own creative work, your own business work. To recognize that you can't do everything yourself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Your ego can become an obstacle to your work. If you start believing in your greatness, it is the death of your creativity.
For your own self-respect and sanity, your creative freedom, you have to be careful that you don't rely too much on other people's opinions of what you do because it can stunt and inhibit you.
Work at being a humble person.
I think I've realized that when you are aiming to create a real body of work, you are as much defined by the things you don't do as by the things you do.
I think that when you decide to dedicate yourself to creative endeavors and surround yourself with people who are creative, you very quickly learn how hard it is to survive doing those kinds of things, not to mention make a living at them.
Your best creative assets do not occur unless you do a mental shift. You have to be in a positive frame of mind because inspiration is fleeting. I walk to work for inspiration and to clear my mind.
And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
When you're working on a creative thing, everyone has an idea, and they're pushing it. The first time you work with anybody, you have to get comfortable with the way another person pushes hard for what they want.
I feel that my job is to create an atmosphere where creative people can do their best work.
If no one's doing the creative work that you want to do, do it yourself.
