Art is an articulator of the soul's uncensored purpose and deepest will.

It, (creativity) requires an inclination to step into the unknown, as well as the ability to persist when there is no end in sight.

Creativity is a force moving through us, and only through practice do we learn how to cooperate with it. The 'process' is like a muscle. It needs to be exercised in order to function effortlessly.

Creative expression requires an ability to work with feelings and channel them. Frustration, dissatisfaction, and even a sense of desperation may help you access an eloquence you never knew existed.

Imaginative compassion for that which is other than myself is a constant artistic and ethical discipline.

Creation is a sentient and instinctual flow that determines where to go and what to change or omit.

Creative freedom is determined by how we behold the world. Any one of us can make new things with our perceptions that serve as doorways to the creative imagination. No one is excluded.

We can only learn about creativity through our own experience of it.

A person's license to create is irrevocable, and it opens to every corner of daily life. But it is always hard to see that doubt, fear, and indirectness are eternal aspects of the creative path.

We are unusual and tragic and alive.

It is wise to admit one's wrongs because it creates room for correction.

Everything good starts with caring.

Even having to water flowers is too much constraint.

I have a lot of guitar heroes I guess, some of them are female and some of them are male. Robert Fripp is one of them, and Marc Ribot, that's another guitar hero.

I think that Sarah Palin really missed the chance to educate the public on what some of the challenges her son is actually facing.

Get me selling and I can figure out the industry. Once I can figure out the industry I can start a business in that industry.

A joy as intense as pain

Tis light translateth night; 'tis inspiration Expounds experience; 'tis the west explains The east; 'tis time unfolds Eternity.

If you're in a hit movie, it's good to be in another hit movie straight away.
