Creative work gives you an almost indissoluble connection with people.
Nothing creative functions well when fenced in or leaning on a prop. A contract is a fence and a prop.
The creative act amazes me. Whether it’s poetry, whether it’s music, it’s an amazing process, and it has something to do with bringing forth the old out into the world to create and to bring forth that which will rejuvenate.
With acting, you are a small part of the creative process, and sometimes it is hard to feel like you are making an impact.

I feel like I’m the most creative when I’m bored.
In my off-time, I do record. Once in a while, I’ll just go into the studio if there’s a really good song that I have in my head and want to do.

I just always wanted to be left alone to go into a creative space.
People sometimes have a view of programming that is something solitary and very technical. But programming is among the most creative, expressive, and social careers.
What I love about low-budget movies is my interests and the director’s interests and the actors’ interests are aligned. No one makes money unless the movie works, and that informs every creative decision.

From an early age, I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn’t doing something creative.
Control is the wrong word. The practice is very much about sharing, and, in any creative practice, some individuals, whether partners or directors, are much closer to certain projects than I could ever be.
I had creative control over my character, which means if they wanted me to do something that I didn’t agree with, then I wouldn’t do it. If it was good for the show, then I had no problem. If it was demeaning to the character and wasn’t adding a positive light to the show, then I can guarantee that I wouldn’t do it.
As a creative person, you want to start with a blank canvas.

The creative mind is restless.
Instead of yelling and spanking, which don’t work anyway, I believe in finding creative ways to keep their attention – turning things into a game, for instance. And, when they do something good, positive reinforcement and praise.
Automation and technology would be a great boon if it were creative, if there were more leisure, more opportunity to engage in raising a family, providing guidance to the young, all the stuff we say we need.

I have a passion for my work, and that sometimes triggers creative conflicts.
I have a very clear vision as to what I want at the end of my prep, and then I throw it out and let the creative process take over.
