His mind is so open - so open that ideas simply pass through it.
There's never any pressure on the music having to be something.
I really think that if there's any one enemy to human creativity, especially creative writing, it's self-consciousness.
I am partly not conscious of structure with my movies, but this is when I am writing. I leave my mind very free, and then I correct it after.
You want all players to be free of overthinking. That's when they're in a good place and a good flow.
I think people are at their most creative when they're relaxed. I don't believe that tension is good for creativity. Everyone is relaxed and therefore can feel able to express their own individual creativity and lots of ideas come in. It's a joy like that.
To me, songs come of their own volition - and with an open-ended philosophy.
We don't know what we're writing until it just comes out. We don't sit around crunching numbers.
In fiction, conceptualizing, I've found, produces dull and over-controlled text.
I'll write anything; I don't want to judge its form.
I'm always working on something. I wish I had more time for free-thinking and brainstorming new ideas. That's not to say my mind doesn't wander, but I find myself wishing for more of that kind of time.
