I know people who are twice as creative as I am, twice as smart, but they didn't do anything because they feared going into a room and opening their mouths.

That's the purpose of creative stuff: when you really love what you do, you have to know at some point, or points, you're not going to be good at it. That's just the process of learning.

People are generally badly advised when they're starting out in the creative field.

It's fun being creative and that's satisfying.
New York is great for busy creative types. The city has a pulse that races, and you either keep up with it or you leave.
I love puppies, and I love animals in general. Besides that, I do martial arts: extreme martial arts. I also play real guitar and drums, and sing. And I'm taking some college classes, hoping to major in English and creative writing.
A stock certificate is not a tool, like a shovel, or a commodity, like a pound of cheese. What we sell a customer is not a share in a business, but a view of the Elysian Fields. A financier is a creative artist. Our function is to stimulate the imagination. We are poets!

When you do anything creative, you really have to live entirely in that world. I think my ability to do that is what makes me such a bad dinner guest.

The quality of one's emotional life changes over the years, doesn't it? But the basic instincts and desires, greed and hope, seem to remain constant. In the larger scope of things, there's a sense of fulfillment to living a creative life. So I guess that's what keeps me going.
There weren't any funny people in sports or the Spanish club. All the really creative, witty, funny people that made your belly hurt were in the theater program.
