Kanye West Quotes

Creative collaboration is awesome.

There is something special when creative people get together.

I think that everything is part of creativity - the more you create, the more you have ideas, and the more you meet people.

Creativity varies inversely with the number of cooks involved in the broth.

I think you can write very good comedy without a partner, but what I love about it, working with a partner, is that you get to places you'd never get on your own. It's like when God was designing the world and decided we couldn't have children without a partner; it was a way of mixing up the genes so you'd get a more interesting product.

Sometimes a creative environment affects what happens within it.

You don't realize how beautiful an idea is until you do it with other people. There's this really shimmery, awesome thing when you start finishing a song - where the song just starts writing itself.

I always love working with other creative talent.

I love creating. I love being with creative people who can think quickly on their feet.

A great idea is simply the combination of many good ideas.

Creation occurs when ideas and individuals collide and collude.

Whenever a maker and a thinker get together, really cool stuff happens.

To create something new is both thrilling and excruciating at the same time. It's great to have all these choices in front of you, and to have the writers in the room so you know exactly what they meant. But the downside is you want so badly not to screw it up!

If you put enough smart people together in one space, good things happen.

I think that anything that leads to creativity and good work is good.

I love the creative process. That's always been the closest thing to my heart, creating something.

The more you reason the less you create.

Creativity comes from a conflict of ideas.

I have four or five ideas that just keep floating around and I want to kind of just let one - like a beautiful butterfly, let it land somewhere.

I get inspired at different times and in different ways.

It's not just about acting. I love film, I'm a director now, I love writing, I love producing, I love having a company that makes films and to be prolific and have a place to put all the ideas that are constantly bubbling up inside of me and that don't let me sleep at night.

I want to spend my time between the creation of ideas and the creation of things.

I try to stay focused on my creativity.

I really challenge every actor at the beginning of a process, and I always say, 'I have an idea that I'm going to bring to the table. I hope and expect that you will have an idea and bring it to the table. But the way I really want to work is that together we're going to have a third idea that is better than either of our ideas.'

It's not enough to tell people to be creative; they need to know how, and what to create.
