Scott Adams Quotes

I think the idea of art kills creativity.

To be an artist, you have to nurture the things that most people discard.

No one was creating and I always wanted to be created on.

All the things we have to remember, and I've mentioned this before, is that we're all artists.

As a creative person, you want to start with a blank canvas.

As long as you're true to you, you believe it and you make others believe it, then what you're doing is just art. If you give everybody a blank canvas and some paint, not everybody's picture is going to be exactly the same, but it's still art. I just do what I do.

If you have the ideas, and you're a creative person, then you don't really differentiate in how your ideas manifest themselves.

I love to be creative.

Works of art make rules; rules do not make works of art.

I believe in creative work.

It's very important to understand that we never do the same thing twice; each of our projects is unique. We'll never do another 'Gates.' Each project is a unique image. We do not know in advance how the work will look. I do preparatory drawings, but they are only projections of our vision.

Being essentially a creator, I never set out to shock, always thinking about creating my work and not about the benefits it could produce.

That's the buzz for me, the creative process. An idea is never as good as when it's in your head. And then it's just how little you ruin it.

I've worked with people who wanted to be creative every day: it was like a goal to arrive with something very special. Sometimes it's just disturbing, because special is good when it's needed. But when it's not needed, it's confusing, and you go away from the authenticity by a strong desire to be unique and singular.

I like being creative.

That's the thing about creating. When you create, you create your own thing, whatever that is. It's always going to seep through in whatever you do.

I've always been creating, no one had to teach me how to create, I always made things.

That's what I love more than anything, just creating.

Creators, makers of the new, can never become obsolete, for in the arts there is no correct answer. The story of discoverers could be told in simple chronological order, since the latest science replaces what went before. But the arts are another story- a story of infinite addition. We must find order in the random flexings of the imagination.

That's the most important thing in art: to be aware, pay attention, be inspired - but it should come ultimately from you.

I made a creativity out of that messiness.

When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing creature.

Don't worry about mistakes. Making things out of mistakes, that's creativity.

But there's nothing more profound than creating something out of nothing.

Painting must be fertile. It must give birth to a world.. ..it must fertilize the imagination.
