    קיים יחס הפוך בין הסיכוי להוציא לפועל רעיון כלשהו לזמן שהקדשנו לדיבור עליו לפני כן. וזאת, לדעתי, מהסיבה הפשוטה שאם מיצינו את כל ההנאה האפשרית מאותו רעיון בשלבים הקודמים להגשמתו, כשאנו ניגשים לעבודה לא נשארים לנו אלא הכאב שהוא חלק בלתי נפרד מתהליך היצירה, העול, העמל.

    When dreams become more important than reality, you give up travel, building, creating; you even forget how to repair the machines left behind by your ancestors. You just sit living and reliving other lives left behind in the thought records.-- Vina, "The Menagerie" ("The Cage"), Star Trek, 1966

    As an artist you have to be really self-aware. As a songwriter, especially. You need to be aware enough to catch yourself creating similar things to what you have created before and steer away from that. You have to grow, otherwise you will lose people’s attention and you will get bored with yourself.

  • Quote

    His world was small, an illiterate county seat, a backward state, though from it he fashioned something greater, far greater perhaps than he ever knew. A writer cannot really grasp what he has written. It is not like a building or a sculpture; it cannot be seen whole. It is only a kind of smoke seized and printed on a page.
