Try saying this: "I enjoy my creativity." And when you say it, be sure to actually mean it. For one thing, it will freak people out. I believe that enjoying your work with all your heart is the only truly subversive position left to take as a creative person these days. It's such a gangster move, because hardly anybody ever dares to speak of creative enjoyment aloud, for fear of not being taken seriously as an artist. So say it. Be the weirdo who dares to enjoy. — Elizabeth Gilbert Big Magic:...

You can believe that you are neither a slave to inspiration nor its master, but something far more interesting - its partner - and that the two of you are working together toward something intriguing and worthwhile. — Elizabeth Gilbert Big Magic:...

So I've done my fair share of theater. I have also been very fortunate in that I've been able to come to New York two or three times a year just to see as many shows as possible. I think the live theater culture here is incredible. — Neil Patrick Harris

In twenty-first-century America, our stories have become one and the same: we work to consume, we live to consume, we are what we consume. — Sandra Tsing Loh

Either I choose to behave or live a life of someone else, or I choose to be myself and live the life the way I want. — Taapsee Pannu

Regret is a waste of time.
