It's really clear to me that you can't hang onto something longer than its time. Ideas lose certain freshness, ideas have a shelf life, and sometimes they have to be replaced by other ideas.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ideas move rapidly when their time comes.
I always worried that the creative well would dry up. I was sure that if I wrote a book a year, I would eventually run out of ideas. Actually, the opposite has been true for me. The more I write, the more ideas come to me and it gets easier.
Ideas sometimes come from nowhere, and sometimes they take lots of thinking.
People ask me, 'Don't you ever run out of ideas?' Well, on the first place, I don't use ideas. Every time I have an idea, it's too limiting and usually turns out to be a disappointment. But I haven't run out of curiosity.
I have ideas all of the time from the beginning, but they never really wind up turning out like I thought they would.
I think 90% of my ideas evaporate because I have a terrible memory and because I seem to be committed to not scribble anything down. As soon as I write it down, my mind rejects it.
Sometimes ideas feel like they were already there, and that you're just discovering them.
I'm always having ideas. I'd like to continue being able to realise the ideas I have.
I actually don't have a great surplus of ideas. Some evolve very slowly, over many years, but I sort of trust that all of the interesting ones will become something that I eventually end up doing.
You never know when your ideas are going to come back to you.
