Most people censor that because they don't think it's good enough. Everything is measured against this patriarchal hierarchy of value, as if one person's singing voice is more important than another's.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldFeelsPersonsImportantEnoughArtistValuesProcessVoiceSingingGood EnoughPermissionExploringHierarchy Author:Antony Hegarty
“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
“I just feel like [creativity] is a reflection of the world around me and I don't think you can divorce yourself from that. So I don't really think in terms of, 'Do you still have it?' Even if I was doing something new, I think I would be engaged in the same process.” IfsThinkingWorldFeelsStillsWould BeProcessTermCreativityReflectionDivorceEngagedSomething New 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.

“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.
