My feeling was that I simply didn't have the enthusiasm to do reinvention.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was an academic, I'd sometimes get a little feeling of excitement when I had an idea that was, I hoped, fresh. And whether anyone should act on that idea is a very different question.
I miss that thing I used to do when I first started out where I would just spontaneously generate ideas and try things and see where they'd go.
Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity.
I was not naturally talented. I didn't sing, dance or act, though working around that minor detail made me inventive.
I didn't do my work for money or prizes - only for the excitement of discovery.
I have to reinvent myself.
There was no one near to confuse me, so I was forced to become original.
I was very into making the Big Artistic Statement - it had to be innovative; it had to be cutting edge. I was desperately keen on being original.
What I learned was the quality of continual reinvention.
The other thing I felt was that the philosophical concept behind the experiences also looked like it had been designed by technicians and not by entertainers. I felt I needed to grab hold of it and try and push the envelope as much as I possibly could right now.
