“I think a lot of times when people have "creative blocks" and I know my share of friends do as well if they're at just some stuck point. They're not sure what to do with their lives or their writing or their photography or their filmmaking or whatever it is that they're doing. I think the best advice is you have to change your life up completely; to go on a trip, to go spend a year being of service. Be willing to take some major drastic action to get you out of your comfort zone and go inside, not outside.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWritingYearsWellsActionCreativeShareAdviceWillingGoes OnComfortPhotographyMajorsStuckBlockNot SureZoneFilmmakingComfort ZoneChanging Your LifeBest AdviceDrasticCreative Block Author:Rainn Wilson
“People have a very limited idea of what being creative is - playing the guitar or the flute or writing poetry - so people go on writing rubbish in the name of poetry. You have to find out what you can do and what you cannot do. Everybody cannot do everything. You have to search and find your destiny. You have to grope in the dark, I know. It is not very clear-cut what your destiny is, but that's how life is. And it is good that one has to search for it - in the very search, something grows.” PeopleKnowsWritingIdeasLife IsNamesGrowsCan DoDarkDestinyCreativeClearCuttingGoes OnGuitarBe CreativeOur DestinyYour DestinyRubbishWriting PoetryFlutes Author:Rajneesh
“To create one must be able to respond. Creativity is the ability to respond to all that goes on around us, to choose from the hundreds of possibilities of though, feeling, action, and reaction and to put these together in a unique response, expression or message that carries moment, passion and meaning. In this sense, loss of our creative milieu means finding ourselves limited to only one choice, divested of, suppressing, or cendoring feelings and thoughts, not acting, not saying, doing, or being.” MeanMomentsFeelingsAbleActionTogetherChoicesPassionLossAbilityActingCreativityCreativePossibilityExpressionGoes OnFindingsMessagesUniqueResponseReactionsCarrieSuppressingMilieuAction And Reaction Author:Clarissa Pinkola Estes
“The only thing I have no control over is the politics that goes on within the record company.

“I would really like to focus on directing features, and then eventually take that skill set back to television. On features, you have more control. On television, the producers are the creative forces behind it.

“I wanted to be self-sufficient, I wanted to take care of myself, and I wanted to learn. I wanted to travel, I wanted to see the world and have my eyes opened. I wanted to be consistently challenged, and I knew I needed to be creative in some way. When I got my job in a bar and I could pay for my tuition and go on auditions and sometimes get jobs that I loved and pay my rent, I knew that I would be all right. That's when my dreams came true, long before the telephone rang and someone said, 'Come and meet Tom Cruise'".” WorldWayLongSaidSelfSometimesDreamWould BeEyeCareWantedJobsPayCreativeGoes OnNeededTake CareBarsSufficientTomsConsistentlyAuditionsBe CreativeTelephonesCruiseSelf SufficientTuitionDreams Came True Author:Renee Zellweger
“Jazz musicians can be great teachers of business. Their creativity is not dependent on their mood, it does not have to be coaxed out of them, it has nothing to do with the phases of the moon or even how they feel that day. They go on stage and start playing. Being creative is their job.” FeelsDoeJobsCreativityCreativeTeacherStageGoes OnMoonMusicianJazzMoodDependentPhasesBe CreativeJazz MusicGreat TeacherJazz MusicianPhases Of The Moon Author:John Kao
“When anyone starts out to do something creative - especially if it seems a little unusual - they seek approval, often from those least inclined to give it. But a creative life cannot be sustained by approval, any more than it can be destroyed by criticism - you learn this as you go on.” IfsGivingLittlesSeemsCreativeGoes OnCriticismDestroyedUnusualApprovalCreative Life Author:Will Self
