Actually in the moment in which the idea has life, when it's listened to read, engaged with, acted on stage, it gains another dimension, it becomes three dimensional.

My point is is that if you are ever comfortable you're not growing and if, unless you are completely out of your depth, your creativity of whatever you are producing, you will never know how strong your stroke it.

You don't know how to get yourself out of that deep water until you're in the deep water.

If you ever feel comfortable in what you're producing, you've lost. You're not alive, that's it, it's stagnant water.

The minute you finish a piece of writing it doesn't belong to you, you don't write it any more, it belongs to you, the reader, the listener, the audience. So the less you know about whether or not this is me talking about my life or this is me talking about your life, I think the better. Then it can belong to you and it can live outside of the moment in which it was conceived.

When you know a place, your feet have walked it so many times there's a comfort to it.

There's enough brackets put on us already, we don't need to bracket our creativity anymore than we do.
