The less of routine, the more of life.

I am more creative when I don't have sex.

Creativity could be described as letting go of certainties.

To really be creative, you need to step out of that hyperfocused state of tension and let your mind wander.

Life will become less about efficiently crossing off what was on your to-do list or rushing through everything on your schedule and more about changing what you put on there in the first place.

It’s good to have space to think. It’s in the empty moments when you’re the most creative.

The key to better writing is working less

Creativity is an interesting thing…You can sit back, have a glass of wine, watch some television…and get a terrific idea of what you want to do…The great thing about being at home is that as soon as you get an idea you can put a mike at the piano and record it. That way you don’t lose the vibes, and you don’t have to worry about finishing before the studio’s next booking arrives…”

Creative ideas happen when you stop thinking about what others will think.

The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a resource for creativity.

The single best productivity hack that everyone should aspire to - don’t keep a schedule.

Creative things happen to creative people, especially when they let themselves go to the Zen of the moment, when they don’t allow themselves to be paralyzed either by overthinking or by laziness.

You'll do better work if you're bored rather than busy.
