Ray Bradbury Quotes

The great fun in my life has been getting up every morning and rushing to the typewriter because some new idea has hit me.

Every morning I wake up with new ideas.

Negativity is the enemy of creativity.

I have ideas. I hear voices. Words accumulate. It's still an overriding impulse. And I'm self-employed, which means I have to be sensible and motivated about paying the bills.

Ideas aren't magical; the only tricky part is holding on to one long enough to get it written down.

My motivation is to be creative and have fun. You want to do something that keeps you on your toes the rest of your life and keeps you busy.

Creativity is a great motivator because it mades people interested in what they are doing.

I get ideas about things I want to make and then I throw myself into it with everything I have.

I am a person of high energy. That, and I sit down and I write when I get an idea - I put other things aside.

I'm motivated. The spirit hits me and I just keep going and don't stop. The more I play, the more I can invent, the more ideas come to me.

Enthusiasm is the breath of genius.

Money doesn't excite me - my ideas excite me.

Nothing in the world can be more exciting than to create something and see it work.

To me, it's all about inspiration. What gets me creatively excited is a challenge.

What we call creative work, ought not to be called work at all, because it isn't. I imagine that Thomas Edison never did a day's work in his last fifty years.

Enthusiasm is not the same as just being excited. One gets excited about going on a roller coaster. One becomes enthusiastic about creating and building a roller coaster.

Passion is in all great searches and is necessary to all creative endeavors.

I always want to remain inspired.

Nearly all the things I do that are of any merit at all start off just being good fun, and I think I'm sort of building up to doing something else quite soon.

Enthusiasm is that secret and harmonious spirit which hovers over the production of genius.

I try to stay focused on my creativity.

Inspiration arrives as a packet of material to be delivered.

Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity.

I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life.

You have your brains, but it's energy and desire that make you write a book.
