Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better.
It has always been important to me to be a creative artist, not to be a star, not to be rich, not to be famous.
I don't necessarily enjoy playing concerts, although that has gotten more fun with a band. But the one thing I always have enjoyed is making records and being in that creative environment. And that has become a lot more enjoyable having other people involved.
Every time we come out, there's a hunger for creative expression or creative ways to put out content that isn't duplicated from our last run. Whether it's technology, messaging, visual⦠we're always pushing the envelope.
I believe that independent film making is the last frontier of creative expression available. So I'm always willing to lend a helping hand to a young film maker who's just getting into the business.
Which is why, in my lieder concerts, I always strove, when possible, to sing only the works of a single composer, so that the audience could be gradually drawn into a particular creative genius' way of thinking, and could follow him.
I'd always need a creative outlet. But sometimes, I do fantasize what my life would be like if I weren't famous.
I never considered writing as a career - it was always a creative outlet for me and something I just loved to do.
Music is obviously our No. 1, always. But it's so fun to venture out to another creative outlet.
My parents always stressed finding some sort of creative outlet, so they would take me to dance classes, take me to jazz clubs.
When I'm doing just music all the time, it can get really overwhelming. It's always challenging to switch it up a bit. And just because you're a musician, it doesn't mean that music is your only creative outlet.
I've always been the person who has needed a creative outlet.
You're always in a box, and you're an escape artist if you do what I do - or if you're a creative person, period. You build your box, and then you escape from it. You build another one, and you escape from it. That's ongoing.
I'm a very restless person. I'm always doing something. The creative process never stops.
I used to put flyers on cars in parking lots, anything to get people to come to my shows. I was always having to think outside the box, and even to this day, I still try and come up with creative ways to market my shows.
We can always find creative ways to do things.
Our biggest goal is to continue to force ourselves to always start our creative work on a white page and not take advantage of past successes and challenging ourselves.
You try things creatively all the time, and while you want every one of them to be great, and you set out to do that, that's not always going to end up being the case.
You don't always just have to do an indie movie to feel like you're controlling it with a few people that you really have connected with, creatively. You can do it on a bigger scale.
I believe sometimes we aren't always in charge of everything that we do creatively. We submit to things as we're going on our own journey.
