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.

There is actually no such thing as an Artist type. 'Artist' is just an economic designation, a box you tick on a form. We are all people, and we are all creative.

I believe people may have a predisposition for artistic creativity. It doesn't mean they're going to make it.

Whether it's music or acting, that creativity all comes from the same source.

I do believe everyone on this earth is an artist - some people more than others. But I do believe we are all artists in a certain way. We all have unique abilities. There are people who are meant to make it their life, and that is a different kind of person who would choose to be on that path.

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.

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.

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.

When you do music, your friends are writers, actors, painters. It's all under the same roof. So anything creative is interesting to me.
