I'm always having ideas. I'd like to continue being able to realise the ideas I have.

When you write down your ideas you automatically focus your full attention on them. Few if any of us can write one thought and think another at the same time. Thus a pencil and paper make excellent concentration tools.

I have ideas all of the time from the beginning, but they never really wind up turning out like I thought they would.

So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.

I'm a visual person, so it always starts with a picture, and then I get obsessed with the idea, sometimes too much. I have these blank books in which I take notes, and I add postcards and other physical items.

I had ideas. A lot were good, but in many ways, I had no idea or experience about how to carry them out.

I like to have books around to give me ideas-to get the verbal part of my brain to start working.

I try very hard to handle things equally: ideas, materials, and images.

Always write your ideas down however silly or trivial they might seem. Keep a notebook with you at all times.

My music, I hope, takes 100% of your concentration. I know how to do that.
