What is creativity? The Thesaurus definition of creativity is:
Originality, imagination, inspitation, ingenuity, inventiveness, resourcefulness, creativeness, vision and innovation.
"Creativity is a process needed for problem-solving …not a special gift enjoyed by a few but a common ability possessed by most people” (Jones, 1993)
"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light & shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable, originality is non-existent. And don't bother concealing your theivery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "It's not where you take things from - it's more where you take them to." - Jim Jarmusch
