Choose to give your creative art priority over other things. You can do it.
Positive attitude accelerates your development as a creative person. Believe in yourself.
Take imagination breaks. . . Relaxed attention is one of the most important states of mind for creativity, and sometimes it has to be learned.
Get in touch with yourself. The fountain of creativity begins with the stream of conscious thought flowing inside you. Open the floodgate and creative ideas come rushing out.
Release and regulate the flow of your inborn creative energy to reach your artistic potential.
Creative expression is not just a means of getting attention, although some have approached art that way. Think of art as a way of connecting, of sharing your insights with others.
Barack Obama, you know has a lot of supporters here in America, but he's very popular internationally. It's quite interesting. This is a true story. It was in the paper. Barack Obama is so popular in the African town where his father was born, they've named a beer after him. That's true. Yeah. So next time you're in Africa, sit back, relax, and enjoy a tall, cold Barackelob Light. Good enough. Clearly not as popular a beer as it used to be.
I'm not going to spend two years on a film or four years on an opera if I don't feel like I can put my own self into it. That doesn't mean it has to be about myself.
There is no better test of a man's work than time, which also reveals the thoughts which lay hidden in his breast.
Especially in a world that doesn't need homemade anything. That's when we need homemade everything.
