I thought the Billie Holiday comparison was beautiful. I think, Wow, what a wonderful, creative, helpful spirit. She's someone who wanted to help others by sharing her emotion. That's what I do, too, so I think that's a great comparison.
Erykah Badu

Even as a footballer, I was always being creative.
Eric Cantona

I'm lucky to not have a real job, to be able to express myself, be creative and be relevant.

I enjoy the work I do in comedies. It's a valid test of your creative abilities.

India of the ages is not dead nor has she spoken her last creative word; she lives and has still something to do for herself and the human peoples.

E. M. Forster

It seems that the creative faculty and the critical faculty cannot exist together in their highest perfection.

A creative person has to create. It doesn't really matter what you create. If such a dancer wanted to go out and build the cactus gardens where he could, in Mexico, let him do that, but something that is creative has to go on.
