Creativity is always a leap of faith. You're faced with a blank page, blank easel, or an empty stage.

The creative process is a process of surrender, not control.

Creativity - like human life itself - begins in darkness.

Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.

Faith is almost the bottom line of creativity; it requires a leap of faith any time we undertake a creative endeavor, whether this is going to the easel, or the page, or onto the stage.

When I ask for help with my creativity, I get it.

If you work on your creativity, you deepen your spirituality. And if you work on your spirituality, you deepen your creativity.

I learned to just show up at the page and write down what I heard. Writing became more like eavesdropping and less like inventing a nuclear bomb.

Writing just for the hell of it is heaven.
