The way creative people live is different from people who don’t do anything creative.
All creative people want to do the unexpected.
Creative people are notoriously the slowest to adopt new technology.
I’m always around creative people, and I’m trying to work on something constantly at all times.
And unless you have that sense of being creative, people think you’re just working all the time.
I am from Trinidad and Tobago, so I actually grew up in Tobago on the beach, just running around, playing, watching really creative people, and being exposed to really deep, rich stories from a young age.
Spike Lee listens a lot. He’s one of the quietest creative people I’ve ever met.
Given New York City’s cultural diversity, it has always attracted creative people.
I love the entire process of being on the set and being able to create a character. It’s so much fun. In ‘Think Like a Man,’ I have a very small part. They told me it wasn’t a big budget, but I don’t care about any of that. I’ll do it for free simply because I love being on the set with other creative people.
Creative people have no barriers. Ultimately, it’s connecting with human beings. There’s just one planet. I don’t see it as different countries.
Many creative people are finding that creativity doesn’t grow in abundance, it grows from scarcity – the more Lego bricks you have doesn’t mean you’re going to be more creative; you can be very creative with very few Lego bricks.
Record companies don’t think creatively about what something could possibly be because they are not filled with creative people. Nobody’s looking at the future of music because they’re concentrating so hard on what they can get from it right this second. It’s really hard to see an artist; it’s a lot easier to see money.
I started out as an actor, where you seek to understand yourself using the words of great writers and collaborating with other creative people. Then I slid into show business, where you seek only an audience’s approval whether you deserve it or not.
I never felt sorry for the people in ‘Friends’ though. They had enormous wealth and they were very funny, creative people who gave a lot of people happiness.
Managers are the most creative people in the world.
Creative people feel huge ownership of our content; we want everything to be done ourselves. But in book writing, there’s a process: editors, PR people.
What I like about modelling is that it has given me that opportunity to travel and experience different cultures, work with creative people, and now it’s given me a voice, and with that voice hopefully I can do good things with it.
We need creative people working with broadcasters, making smart content to inspire people to be geniuses.
My mom is a painter and photographer and my grandfather was an artist, so I’ve always been surrounded by creative people.
Like most creative people I don’t fit well into boxes.
The fact that we don’t have censorship on the Internet really gives you a lot of freedom, as makers and creative people do what they believe in.
I believe that if creative people are open and generous enough when working with each other, a lot more can be learned and achieved by both parties. That’s what it’s all about, trying to produce the best work possible on any given project.
All creative people should be required to leave California for three months every year.
I am very lucky that I have talented and creative people around me. Also, meditation has been a very big part of my freedom, because it allows me to watch all the things going on and allows me to focus.
I feel like one thing that a lot of creative people go through is that they feel like they don’t have the right to be creative or to put their stuff out there. I’m glad that blogging from a young age kind of got that out of the way for me.
When I travel, I connect with creative people in all different fields and disciplines. It’s sort of just to keep my finger on the pulse of what’s going on. I think that’s important.
At the end, we’re kind of observers – creative people, I mean. I feel like an observer, and I’m pretty much able to step out of things and see how things are playing out.
You could summarize everything I did at Apple was making tools to empower creative people. ‘QuickDraw’ empowered all these other programmers to now be able to sling stuff on the screen. The ‘Window Manager,’ ‘Event Manager,’ and ‘Menu Manager.’ Those are things that I worked on that were empowering other people.
It is such a treat to see two of my most favourite creative people in one frame – Rajamouli sir and Amitabh sir. They are so inspiring.
I tend to gravitate toward people who are a bit more eccentric and creative and artistic in some ways. And I like bringing disparate kinds of creative people together to create some great work, even to share points of view on a new direction.
There are definitely a lot of creative people I want to work with. I wanna work with Drake!
I’m not convinced that creative people have mentors because that’s what makes them different; they just do their own thing. If anyone had tried to tell me how to go about something, I’d have run a mile. But I have certainly had a few influences in my life.
I’ll audition for something and then the feedback has been, ‘The director wants you, the creative people want you, but the studio is saying no.’ It’s depressing, but I understand. People are investing a lot of money and they want somewhat of a guarantee; they want someone who’s been on the cover of magazines.
My husband is a musician. He cooks and he’s a chef but he also, he makes basement recordings. So many people in my life make basement recordings, so I feel very lucky, I’m surrounded by very creative people.
The artists and creative people are not in a position to teach someone. Nobody wants to be taught through entertainment.
What kind of people would be able to rationalize better than other people? Better storytellers, right? Creative people, right? Because if you’re creative, you find more ways to cheat and still yourself a story about why this is okay.
I think the weather here is a big attraction for anyone. But also, there are more creative people per square mile in L.A. than anywhere in the world. They make ‘The Simpsons’ here. Anywhere they make ‘The Simpsons’ is a good place to be.
I gotta be involved. I still write ads; I still run around and rally the creative people.
Hollywood’s like a warehouse. It’s just a place that you go. What’s interesting in the warehouse has to do with the creative people.
I understand why creative people like dark, but American audiences don’t like dark. They like story. They do not respond to nervous breakdowns and unhappy episodes that lead nowhere. They like their characters to be a part of the action. They like strength, not weakness, a chance to work out any dilemma.
Neither of my parents are involved in theater or acting, but they are very artistic. My mom is a painter; she’s an artist. She went to school for fashion illustration. My father is into collecting antiques and fine wine, so they’re both really creative people.
I think especially as creative people we rely so heavily on our gut instinct to create emotional beats or bring scripts to life. Go with what you feel is right, because thats all we can really do. Were the expert of our own experience, so be as authentic as you can.
All I want to do for the rest of my life is be with Diana 24/7. We’re creative people, and we love to work together.
Just because I make something doesn’t mean that it’s going to be amazing, and most creative people don’t like to admit when their music is just okay.
It’s such an enormously challenging process to make any kind of television. It’s stressful and works towards getting the best out of creative people.
The truly creative people tend to be outliers.
I’m sure lots of actors and creative people go through this, where you have some weeks where it’s all going according to plan and some weeks where you’re super frustrated.
Because we are four creative people – four writers – there was no way that we were ever going to be satiated doing the same thing over and again. Change was inevitable for us. And a very natural thing.
Yesterday I was thinking about the whole idea of genius and creative people, and the notion that if you create some magical art, somehow that exempts you from having to pay attention to the small things.
Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people.
I surrounded myself with a lot of different creative people and ambitious people.
