• I really developed the creative part of the brain. There are no textbooks. You illustrate your own text books and take dictation and have your main lesson on the Middle Ages or whatever and just create your own books. Or they stick an instrument in your hand in first grade and you go into a room filled with violins, cellos and flutes and they're just there for you to just choose what you want to – I've played every instrument.
  Jennifer Aniston Quotes
• The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug; it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear and pleasure; it’s a little like making love, the physical act of love.
  Francis Bacon Quotes
• The experienced in affairs always rate the MAN whose services can be obtained as a partner as not only the first consideration, but such as to render the question of his capital scarcely worth considering, for such men soon create capital; while, without the special talent required, capital soon takes wings.
  Andrew Carnegie Quotes
• I started to produce pictures because I've been in so many and I just love making movies. I like to be fully involved in each movie I do whether I'm starring in it or producing it. I look at the rushes every day and discuss the film with the director, throwing in advice if needed. I recognise the importance of every stage of film making and so many things can go wrong. I try to create an environment where the least mistakes can happen. I see them coming up because I've been there, so now it's easier to find solutions and rectify problems.
  Tom Cruise Quotes
• A distinction is made between painters who work directly from nature and those who work purely from imagination. Personally, I think neither of these methods must be preferred to the exclusion of the other. Both may be used in turn by the same individual, either because he needs contact with objects in order to receive sensations that will excite his creative facility, or because his sensations are already organized.
  Henri Matisse Quotes
• It was the creative part that kept me going, trying to be an actress. I enjoy acting when you really hit it right. And I guess I've always had too much fantasy to be only a housewife. Well, also, I had to eat. I was never kept, to be blunt about it. I always kept myself. I have always had a pride in the fact that I was my own.
  Marilyn Monroe Quotes
• I've read all of Shakespeare and practiced a lot of lines. … I am going to do Juliet first. Don't laugh. What, with what makeup, costume and camera can do, my acting will create a Juliet who is 14, an innocent virgin.
  Marilyn Monroe Quotes
• When I say artist I mean the man who is building things - creating molding the earth - whether it be the plains of the west - or the iron ore of Penn. It's all a big game of construction - some with a brush - some with a shovel - some choose a pen.
  Jackson Pollock Quotes
• In order to create powerful characters in fiction we must have weakness to balance that power.
  Jackson Pollock Quotes
• I could hear my inner voice telling me it wasn't time, don't do it. And people around me whom I love and trust advised me to wait until I was sure everything was ready, but I thought I could make it all right because I wanted it to be all right. I was pleased that I had an opportunity to make it happen, and I wanted to get my creative juices flowing. But I wasn't ready for it.
