I was not a studious kid, and I struggled to find things that would command my attention and engage my ideas and energies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm always having ideas. I'd like to continue being able to realise the ideas I have.
Some broad themes brought me where I am today. At a very young age, my hobby became thinking and finding connections.
Like most kids growing up, I had a very wide interest. I was interested in everything. I tried to take advantage of everything, from the sciences to music to writing to literature.
I need to find a way of retaining creative control.
Successful creative adults seem to combine the wide-ranging exploration and openness we see in children with the focus and discipline we see in adults.
I think if you speak to any creative person, there's something so powerful - so intoxicating, if you will - about discovering another voice, another instrument, another way of looking at things, another way of perceiving things.
I'm interested in doing everything and anything that I can to squeeze that creativity out of my brain. I guess I'm sort of a performance rat.
I remember that already as a child I was often intensely interested in things, obsessed by ideas and projects in many areas, and in these topics I learned much on my own, reading books.
I try very hard to handle things equally: ideas, materials, and images.
I'm used to being in creative environments where people throw out a lot of ideas.
