“Creative people need time to just sit around and do nothing.”

“Telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the money in the world, all the colors in the palette, anything you want—that just kills creativity.”

“Your brain gets too comfortable in your everyday surroundings. You need to make it uncomfortable. You need to spend some time in another land, among people that do things differently than you. Travel makes the world look new, and when the world looks new, our brains work harder.”

“In the end, creativity isn’t just the things we choose to put in, it’s the things we choose to leave out.”

“Inertia is the death of creativity”

“The thing is: It takes a lot of energy to be creative. You don’t have that energy if you waste it on other stuff.”

“Nothing is original. It says it right there in the Bible. Ecclesiastes:That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.Every new idea is just a mashup or a remix of previous ideas.”
