Coming up with ideas is the easiest thing on earth. Putting them down is the hardest.
To generate creative ideas, it's important to start from an unusual place. But to explain those ideas, they have to be connected to something familiar.
To me, ideas are like annoying salespeople that only go away once I've built them.
I wanted to understand things and then be free of them. I needed to learn how to telescope things, ideas. Things were too big to see all at once, like all the books in the library-everything laying around on all the tables. You might be able to put it all into one paragraph or into one verse of a song if you could get it right.
I just know that sameness, repetition, and conceptualizing are the acting craft's adversaries, and it seems more intelligent to start off within a framework where those things are, to some degree, taken out of your hands.
I have a good idea every two years. Give me a topic, I will give you the idea!
I have multiple ideas per day, all the time. The vast majority of these are completely idiotic. Usually, I just sit on the idea for several months. And if I have not decided that it's idiotic, then it's... might be a good idea.
Drawing is putting a line around an idea.
We go in there and we work on altering those ideas and in many cases go in different directions.
I'm kind of an idea guy.
You can talk good ideas out of existence.
I can understand that there are those who can think and imagine the world without words, but I think that once you find the words that name your experience, then suddenly that experience becomes grounded, and you can use it and you can try to understand it.
Everything starts as somebody's daydream.
I've often said that there's no such thing as writer's block; the problem is idea block. When I find myself frozen-whether I'm working on a brief passage in a novel or brainstorming about an entire book-it's usually because I'm trying to shoehorn an idea into the passage or story where it has no place.
Think, the successful idea is always in your mind. Think it out.
So far, designing is the most exciting thing. Ive done I have a vision of what I want the clothes to look like in my mind and its fun to see it come alive on paper.
I am constantly thinking of different ideas and formats for TV shows. I am in a place where anything is possible if you want to do it.
I'm always working on concepts and ideas for the future.
I'm not actually a very keen performer. I like putting shows together. I like putting events together. In fact, everything I do is about the conceptualizing and realization of a piece of work, whether it's the recording or the performance side.
Idea has heft.
The hardest part is developing the idea, and that can take years.
I have never had too much trouble for creative ideas to spring up in my mind.
In fiction, conceptualizing, I've found, produces dull and over-controlled text.
It's amazing how ideas start out, isn't it?
I don't have ideas so much as there are things which constantly evolve... there are various threads or layers, if you like, which change.
