“Creativity or talent, like electricity, is something I don’t understand but something I’m able to harness and use. While electricity remains a mystery, I know I can plug into it and light up a cathedral or a synagogue or an operating room and use it to help save a life. Or I can use it to electrocute someone. Like electricity, creativity makes no judgment. I can use it productively or destructively. The important thing is to use it. You can’t use up creativity. The more you use it, the more you have.” KnowsI CanImportantHelpingUseLightAbleRoomsCreativityMysteryTalentJudgmentRemainsImportant ThingsElectricityCathedralsLight UpHarnessPlugsSave A LifeSynagogueOperating Room Author:Maya Angelou
“Negativity is the enemy of creativity. For instance if you're filled with depression, you can hardly even get out of bed, let alone feel like creating something. If you are filled with bitter, selfish anger, this occupies the mind and leaves little room for creative ideas.” IfsFeelsMindLittlesIdeasRoomsEnemyCreativityCreativeBedCreatingFilledSelfishBitterInstanceNegativityCreating SomethingCreative Ideas Author:David Lynch

“The Enormous Room seems to me to be the book that has nearest approached the mood of reckless adventure in which men will reach the white heat of imagination needed to fuse the soggy disjointed complexity of the industrial life about us into seething fluid of creation. There can be no more playing safe.” MenBookSeemsImaginationWhiteRoomsCreativityCreationAdventureNeededSafeMoodEnormousHeatComplexityProseRecklessFluidFuseSeething Author:John Dos Passos
“Being singer is different than being an actor, where you call up sources from your own experience that you can apply to whatever Shakespeare drama you're in. But an actor is pretending to be somebody, a singer isn't. And that's the difference. Singers today have to sing songs where there's very little emotion involved. That and the fact that they have to sing hit records from years gone by doesn't leave a lot of room for any kind of intelligent creativity.” YearsKindLittlesDifferentFactsTodaySongActorsDifferencesRoomsEmotionCreativityGoneRecordsSourceInvolvedDramaIntelligentSingersPretendingYears Gone By Author:Bob Dylan
