“I think what holds people up in creative processes is the expectation of what it is they're doing. It's also the sense of judgement, you know, people editing themselves.” PeopleThinkingKnowsProcessCreativeExpectationsJudgementCreative ProcessEditing Author:Antony Hegarty
“The creative process is just a process and you can't really separate it from life. Growing your hair is a creative process. Your body is creating hair. Being alive is a creative process. Whether it's growing something in the garden or growing a song, the material accumulates. It's the process of being alive; it's the passage of time. Things change.” BodySongProcessCreativeAliveGrowingMaterialsHairCreatingGardenYour BodyPassagesCreative ProcessThings ChangePassage Of Time Author:Antony Hegarty
“My creative process isn't a long one, so I could have started a song 10 years ago and then finish it 10 years later. It's all just about pushing around words and melodies, for me. The material is kind of shape-shifting.” YearsKindLongSongProcessCreativeMaterialsShapesYears AgoPushingMelodyCreative ProcessShifting Author:Antony Hegarty

“I feel very grateful that for some reason I was raised to believe that I had permission to explore the creative world. I'm very aware of what a privilege that is, because most people don't grant themselves that permission, and I really think that's the only thing that separates people that call themselves artists from the rest of the world. It's suspending self-judgment for long enough to do something expressive.” PeopleThinkingWorldBelieveLongReasonEnoughArtistCreativeGrateful Author:Antony Hegarty
