“People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.”

“I know it sounds crazy, but people with jobs tend to have more creative freedom than people without.”

“You become more divine as you become more creative. All the religions of the world have said God is the creator. I don’t know whether he is the creator or not, but one thing I know: the more creative you become, the more godly you become. When your creativity comes to a climax, when your whole life becomes creative, you live in God. So he must be the creator because people who have been creative have been closest to him. Love what you do. Be meditative while you are doing it – whatsoever it is”

“I’d rather have a career that utilizes my creativity, but torturing people all day long is not a bad gig. At least not for me.”

“In order to be open to creativity, one must have the capacity for constructive use of solitude. One must overcome the fear of being alone.”

“Women need a space to be creative -- creativity thrives in solitude.”
