I am prone to get carried away thinking about creative projects.

The creative process is not like a situation where you get struck by a single lightning bolt. You have ongoing discoveries, and there's ongoing creative revelations. Yes, it's really helpful to be marching toward a specific destination, but, along the way, you must allow yourself room for your ideas to blossom, take root, and grow.

A creative project is a moving target. You never end up where you start.

It's only a very small percentage of creative thinking that ends up connecting with a wider audience, and even then, any success is quite unpredictable.

As a creative person you just get an idea in your head, and sometimes you just can't shake it off.

Well, you give me too much credit for foresight and planning. I haven't got a clue what the hell I'm doing.

Whatever the creative industry, when you're confronted with the challenge of coming up with a Big Idea, always work with the most talented, innovative mind available. Hopefully... that's you.

Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.

I think everyone has the potential to be creative, but they have to find the avenue or avenues that work for them.

It is a very frustrating thing to be the face of a creative project and yet essentially have zero creative control over that project. Essentially, you're a pawn in the system.
