I subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that's fixed, what do you draw on?

Whether they realize it or not, artists who do their works of art by copying from nudes and nature are praising the Creator, but when they do so without giving Him proper credit, they are plagiarizing.

As a storyboard artist, you have to be able to draw anything.

Once you're a Motown artist, you're always a Motown artist.

Forces that you might think are utterly unrelated to creativity can have a big impact. Technology, obviously, but environment, too. Even financial structures can affect the actual content of a song. The making of music is profoundly affected by the market.

That's the thing about pictures: they seduce you.
