“Don’t be afraid to be obsessed.”
Annie Leibovitz – from a Masterclass.com commercial just now (19:32hrs CST July 11th, 2019).
“You become a writer by writing. There is no other way.”
Margaret Atwood — from the very same Masterclass commercial as mentioned above.
“I look for a tone. I look for that spark. Oooooooo! That’s dope!”
“There’s no thought process. It’s about having fun.”
I recently heard this from Timbaland in a youtube ad for a new Masterclass he is teaching about music production. But I think the jist can (should?) be applied to any creative activity or maybe even life in general.

“Stop! You see what the feeling made me do? That’s what it should do to you!” — Timbaland, from that same Masterclass ad on Youtube. Those Masterclass ads are great. It’s just that I have so many subscriptions already. They’ll probably close me one of these days though. “That’s what I’m here on Earth to do.” ibid.
