It's true that there are people who live the idea of being an artist, as opposed to the idea of making art.

To me, very much of what is artistic is people's very creative and inventive ways out of impossible situations.

Creativity is not the property of artists alone. It's a basic element of the human character, no matter what culture you're in, no matter where you are on Earth or in history.

Creativity is not just for artists. It's for businesspeople looking for a new way to close a sale; it's for engineers trying to solve a problem; it's for parents who want their children to see the world in more than one way.

I think that a lot of people just don't understand creativity.

Anyone who creates something new or does something different artistically is going to be singled out.

So much of artistic creation is just exclusion. It's not creating things; it's just excluding things that really aren't going to be helpful.

I think making art is something where you think you know, you also know you don't know and you hope - all these things are in play all the time. I think it's what makes the excitement of creativity for the artist.

It would make me feel that creative art has a chance in this crazy world that we all live in.

I think people are 'just creative,' and this can be expressed in a number of ways. Bob Dylan and David Bowie create both music and art.
