Most people don't find their creativity. There are more unsung geniuses that don't even know they have great talent.
I remember thinking the Nineties were uncool: 'I landed in the generation where nothing happens.'
A film that doesn't get distributed is like a child that never gets married.
There's a marvelous peace in not publishing, there's a stillness. When you publish, the world thinks you owe something. If you don't publish, they don't know what you're doing. You can keep it for yourself.
There are plenty of people I've seen and thought that person is funny, or that person is really talented, and they've got something, but maybe the buying public doesn't see the same thing I see, or the stars don't align in the right way for them.
Among those people not graduating, there might be a Steve Jobs or Barack Obama. We'll never know.
It's the most extraordinary and saddest thing, the amount of talent out there not being seen.
In 2NE1, you mostly see just one side of CL.
A lot of movies are made, but because they come to film festivals and your movie doesn't get bought by a studio or a distributor, your movie doesn't get seen.

Here was a man with loads of talent, loads of ability, lots of love to give; but that had been stifled and aborted. I became very fond of that character.
I'd have thought my particular brand of quirkiness, combined with sharp intelligence and a fine voice, would have yielded more. But it hasn't. Yet!
There's so much talent in Brazil, so many guys that will probably never get discovered.

There never were any roles for my kind of acting. That's the story of my life.
I've never dated anyone in Hollywood - or anyone famous, for that matter. I don't know that I'm ever gonna write a song that you will know who it's about.
Indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.
I'm so lucky in my life, but I'm so unlucky in my abilities. I love art so much, but I'm unable to produce it. I can't even draw a dog that doesn't look like a horse.
