Happiness is such a good state, it doesn't need to be creative. You're not creative from happiness, you're just happy. You're creative when you're miserable and depressed. You find the key to transform things. Happiness does not need to transform.

I'd like to think you don't stop being creative once you get happy. My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.

I don't think anyone does anything from happiness. Happiness is such a good state, it doesn't need to be creative. You're not creative from happiness, you're just happy. You're creative when you're miserable and depressed. You find the key to transform things. Happiness does not need to transform.

I have to be creative to be happy.

It's hard for me to be happy because I'm always worried about something going awry or what could happen to screw it up. It's hard for me to sit and look around, going, 'Ah, I'm really happy.' I'm not that kind of person.

From an early age, I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.

Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

Nobody really turns out too happy in any of my stuff. It's really strange, because I'm actually a pretty happy person. I'm not walking around giggling or anything like that, but I've got this feeling that everything is okay with my life.
