Writers are very much undervalued in the creative process.
There is no creative process to come up with a character of Dean Ambrose.
Music is one of the last elements in the creative process. It can and hopefully should tie a bow around an artistic concept, how a story moves forward, the pace of that storytelling.
I had a fascination with the back side of the business, and the creative process always fascinated me. Vince gave me an opportunity in ’98 to sit in the production meetings. He would talk creative with me, and we had this creative rapport.
My days, sometimes, it’s just about work. I’m not thinking about taking a picture in the studio, and I don’t have the time to stop being creative to stop and post on Instagram. That’s not a part of my creative process.
Recalling a memory is not like playing a tape recorder. It’s a creative process.
I think there’s no creative process that goes without injuries and scratches and punches. You get beat up somehow, and that’s part of the commitment. You have to be open to that.
If I have a talent, it lies in the creative process.
My creative process involves that old saying: It’s 90% perspiration and only 10% inspiration.
I think cooking has the same creative process as designing, where you have the ingredients, you have the alchemy part of it, and you have the satisfaction of seeing your creation become a reality.
‘The Company’ was interesting. I didn’t love it, although it might be compelling to someone who isn’t a dancer. There wasn’t a lot of dialogue, and you were just kind of observing the creative process of choreography and in class.
I love being part of a creative process, so having a band to work with is perfect for me.
My background was producing and writing and performing in television when I started out, and I really missed that, that whole creative process that comes from sort of ‘me’ storytelling.
I do find walking is fundamental to my creative process.
Living in London as a student is tough. And my heart goes out to every single drama student in London because, as an actor, it’s a creative process that you are taking on, and if you don’t get to do it every day, it hurts.
I write in freehand equivalents because measuring, to me, takes away from the creative process of cooking. Two turns of the pan with EVOO is about two tablespoons.
I can obviously relate to a character who is an artist, because the creative process is a big part of my life.
I internalise every role that I do and my creative process sees me immerse myself with the setting and the character that I have at hand.
I know what I love about acting – and it’s the creative process.
The thing about the creative process is it’s so chaotic.
The biggest danger of Hollywood becoming a purely corporate town resides in the creative process.
I devote most of my day to writing, and try to turn out at least four pages a day. As for what triggers the creative process, it’s a mystery to me! Characters often just walk on the page, and I wait to see what they do and say while I’m writing them.
The Google model of targeted advertising is appealing because it claims to cut down on waste. We need to ask how that efficiency can be brought to creative process.
I prefer to work with mystery, but that doesn’t work well in an academic environment. They want you to analyze what you’re doing, which is toxic to the creative process for people like me.
My sights have always been on acting, on the creative process, never the lifestyle. Growing up in Northern Ireland when I did, everything was against you if you wanted to do something like that. But I was determined.
When I first became an actress, I expected to do regional and classical theater; I just love the whole creative process.
Much like film, authors spend a fair amount of time alone in the creative process, tossing their work out into what can feel like an abyss, void of real people.
I always take part in the creative process of every film of mine. Gone are the days where an actor would walk into the sets, finish his portions, take the money, and leave. In fact, I’ve been accused of being interfering – but that’s the way I am. It is important for every actor to get involved with the script.
Filmmaking is hard. I mean, it’s not that hard, but it is hard to find your way through a system because there’s a lot of people, there’s money, there’s a big machine to kind of make it – and how to find methods and processes that allow it to continue to be a lively process and a creative process.
For me, the creative process, first of all, requires a good nine hours of sleep a night. Second, it must not be pushed by the need to produce practical applications.
We’re trained in school to equate mistakes with bad grades – something to be avoided at all costs. The alpha makers were somehow able to dodge that. They think that mistakes are just part of the creative process and maybe even the best way to learn.
Like any other creative person, I would make home videos, and I would make sketches with my friends, and I would make my own movies, so I have some love for the creative process.
We can actually accelerate the process through meditation, through the ability to find stillness through loving actions, through compassion and sharing, through understanding the nature of the creative process in the universe and having a sense of connection to it. So, that’s conscious evolution.
With ‘Duke Nukem Forever’ it was a different level of commitment for me with reference to helping the creators be true to their vision. I’ve been able to enjoy this game as much as a fan as I am a part of the creative process, and that’s a very rare and unique for me.
The creative process taps into our deepest subconscious, and we are each of us sex-crazed – products of a shame-based Judeo-Christian culture that has irrevocably warped us all to varying degrees.
Every time I do a movie like ‘Finding Neverland’ or ‘Chocolat’ or ‘Shakespeare’ in Love,’ we deal with the creative process, but there’s humor and fun along the way. I always love that kind of movie.
I have to be involved. Whether it’s me writing by myself or with other people, I definitely want to have my hand in the creative process. That’s part of why I got into music in the first place.
Any system that sees aesthetics as irrelevant, that separates the artist from his product, that fragments the work of the individual, or creates by committee, or makes mincemeat of the creative process will, in the long run, diminish not only the product but the maker as well.
I’m a big Gucci fan. So, just working with Gucci and seeing his creative process. It was also really cool to work with Scott Storch. He’s a legend.
Visual storytelling combines the narrative text of a story with creative elements to augment and enhance the traditional storytelling process. By design, it is a co-creative process resulting in an intimate, interpretive, expressive technique.
There’s this sense of excitement because you invent and control the characters. You decide whether they live or die. I find this type of creative process tremendously stimulating.
Well, I’ve been recording myself on a computer since I was about 13 or 14. So it’s completely entwined with my creative process. Essentially, it allows you to make music that’s better and smarter than you are, by using your ears to lead the way.
During isolation, one can bring a different approach to the creative process.
Those who write may think they know their target market. They may even feel they can shape the work to fit it. If this is true of you, you have more control over your creative process than I do. Even so, I humbly submit that you try letting your writing shape your target market instead and see what happens.
We do not evaluate the result but the starting point of the creative process. Precisely, this shows whether the form was discovered by starting from life, or for its own sake. That is why I consider the creative process so essential. Life for us is the decisive factor.
There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release.
Creative process gives me the most freedom because I can do anything I want on a piece of blank media.
A large part of the creative process is tolerating the gap between the glorious image you had in your mind and the sad thing you’ve just made.
I discovered I was passionate about the creative process, the product development, creating a concept around a fragrance or lipstick.
Just by default, because I don’t have kids on my bus, I’m putting the studio on my bus. Where everybody else is doing their cribs on their bus, I’ll have a little studio, so I’m going to invite my bandmates, on days off, to come and keep writing so we can continue the creative process and keep it going through the tour.
I’ve been known to write 10 pages a day for 10 days running before I take a breath. I am not a disciplined writer. I’m one of those people who laughingly call themselves inspirational writers, which basically means someone who has no control over their own creative process.
When they say ‘jazz,’ I’m thinking of a word called ‘the creative process.’ It intersects every vein and tributary, avenue, path, that everyone’s living. It crosses through there, but it’s been contained.
