Creativity - like human life itself - begins in darkness.

Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.

I subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that's fixed, what do you draw on?

Humor has bailed me out of more tight situations than I can think of. If you go with your instincts and keep your humor, creativity follows. With luck, success comes, too.

Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.

A nation must be embraced, rehabilitated and expressed as a tangible sign of human creativity and as an integral element of mankind's heritage.

Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.

Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.

One very important aspect of motivation is the willingness to stop and to look at things that no one else has bothered to look at. This simple process of focusing on things that are normally taken for granted is a powerful source of creativity.

We need creativity in order to break free from the temporary structures that have been set up by a particular sequence of experience.

Watch MTV and you can see what the music scene is like in England. The Spice Girls? Not a lot of creativity in the commercial area. There are still great musicians in England, but not a lot being heard that much.

Properly practiced creativity can make one ad do the work of ten.

Properly practiced creativity must result in greater sales more economically achieved. Properly practiced creativity can lift your claims out of the swamp of sameness and make them accepted, believed, persuasive, urgent.

Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity.
