My creative process involves that old saying: It's 90% perspiration and only 10% inspiration.

I don't know exactly where ideas come from, but when I'm working well ideas just appear. I've heard other people say similar things - so it's one of the ways I know there's help and guidance out there. It's just a matter of our figuring out how to receive the ideas or information that are waiting to be heard.

We are the yin and the yang of the creative process.

Craft is part of the creative process.

The creative process is a process of surrender, not control.

It's not wise to violate the rules until you know how to observe them.
