“The crazy creatives are the creatives who never go completely mad. They aren't so easily disheartened by the seemingly endless amounts of scrutiny that creative individuals tend to receive because they, like insanity, are the ones who feed off of opposition and negative feedback and manage to continue along with a healthy ambition. It is the crazy that teaches us to use our gifts wisely and own all the attackers.” UseIndividualTeachCreativeCrazyAmountHealthyAmbitionNegativeMadEndlessManageInsanityOppositionFeedbackScrutinyDisheartenedNegative Feedback Author:Criss Jami
“I don't know where creativity comes from, but I think everybody has the ability to be creative. I think what's important about creativity starts when you're very young and how we're allowed to experience our imagination. The people who bring us up and teach us are fundamental in either encouraging creativity or discourging creativity. My imagination was always encouraged.” PeopleThinkingKnowsImportantYoungImaginationAbilityTeachCreativityCreativeFundamentalsBe CreativeMy ImaginationWhat's Important Author:Lyle Lovett

“Writing is an art but also a craft, which means it's a job. I don't teach. This is how the groceries get on the table. You sometimes make creative sacrifices to get the job done.

“A lot of great thinkers- like Einstein and Newton- come up with their best ideas when they're young because they don't yet think in the way that the establishment teaches them. Sometimes your lack of knowledge frees your mind to be creative and think in a different way. But you still have to be logical and figure out a practical way to get things done, even though you're looking at things differently.” ThinkingWayMindStillsIdeasDifferentSometimesDoneYoungTeachCreativeFiguresCome UpPracticalsDifferent WaysLogicalThinkerEstablishmentBe CreativeNewtonThings DoneLack Of KnowledgeGreat Thinkers Author:George Lucas

“The creative part, with the writing of it and the vision, and finding the voice of a show and the characters, is much harder to teach somebody. It's like music. You can either play it or you can't.
