Baking is more like chemistry, following certain instructions and knowing what comes out in the end. It's almost reassuring! Songwriting is a creative process where you go into a session with nothing and can come out of it with something incredible in the end. I never feel like I'm taking a risk with baking, but always with songwriting.

Alice Merton

There just is exponentially more money in the movie business than in the music business. As a result there are more people involved in the creative process.

Everything you do in life or experience in life gives inspiration for the creative process. But it also depends ultimately on what the consumer wants.

Adriano Zumbo

Life Experience You

I discovered I was passionate about the creative process, the product development, creating a concept around a fragrance or lipstick.

Aerin Lauder

Men UN Tin

I'm dependent on writing for a living, so really it's to my advantage to understand how the creative process works. One of the problems is, when you start to do that, in effect you're going to have to step off the edge of science and rationality.

Alan Moore

The creative process is mysterious; a conversation, a ride in the car, or a melody can trigger something.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Car Us Trigger

I don't know if I have a career or not, or where it ends or it begins. I have been working, doing what I do for a long time. But my creative process has always been so tortuous.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Work Time Car

I get to work with great photographers, wear lovely clothes, be part of the creative process.

Alexa Chung

Work Love Great

I enjoy looking at words on paper and visualizing how to make them come to life. As a director, the creative process is really amazing.

Alfonso Ribeiro

Life Amazing Words

Baking is more like chemistry, following certain instructions and knowing what comes out in the end. It's almost reassuring! Songwriting is a creative process where you go into a session with nothing and can come out of it with something incredible in the end. I never feel like I'm taking a risk with baking, but always with songwriting.

The creative process is not controlled by a switch you can simply turn on or off; it's with you all the time.

Alvin Ailey

Time You Witch

I love the creative process. That's always been the closest thing to my heart, creating something.

Amy Lee

Love Art Ways

When I first became an actress, I expected to do regional and classical theater; I just love the whole creative process.

Annie Parisse

Love Whole Who

I like acting when I can pick my own roles, and I do. It's fun. I like being creative, and it's a creative process.

Art Alexakis

UN Tin T

I think when I was younger, I wanted to be a star, until I became a star, and then it's a lot of work. It's work to be a star. I don't enjoy the stardom part. I only enjoy the creative process.

Barbra Streisand

Work Art Younger

I do find walking is fundamental to my creative process.

Baz Luhrmann

Men Walking Walk

I always wanted to have a career that would keep me at home in New York so I can work in the theater all the time and be involved in the creative process from the ground up.

Bobby Cannavale

Work Time Home

As far as the creative process goes, I always make sure that anything that gets discussed or talked about in the record is true to form. I make it a point not to sing anything that I haven't felt or gone through.

Bridget Kelly

Ways Way Us

The creative process has been a little bit of an experience, really - to try and make that work for me. The only way I know how to do that is just to remain genuine, humble, and true to everything I know already in my life.

Calum Scott

Work Life Experience

The creative process is not like a situation where you get struck by a single lightning bolt. You have ongoing discoveries, and there's ongoing creative revelations. Yes, it's really helpful to be marching toward a specific destination, but, along the way, you must allow yourself room for your ideas to blossom, take root, and grow.

Carlton Cuse

War Yourself Yours

I've been known to write 10 pages a day for 10 days running before I take a breath. I am not a disciplined writer. I'm one of those people who laughingly call themselves inspirational writers, which basically means someone who has no control over their own creative process.

Catherine Ryan Hyde

Inspirational Age Writers

Those who write may think they know their target market. They may even feel they can shape the work to fit it. If this is true of you, you have more control over your creative process than I do. Even so, I humbly submit that you try letting your writing shape your target market instead and see what happens.

Catherine Ryan Hyde

Use the creative process - singing, writing, art, dance, whatever - to get to know yourself better.

Catie Curtis

I look at building business as a creative process that I enjoy.

Chad Hurley

I got in touch with the creative process between the age of 14 and 16, mainly because I was alone so much.

Chris Cornell

We like to be involved vaguely in the creative process so we know what's going on and we have some input, but actually, 'Top Gear' is at its best when the producers spring something on you and we respond naturally to it. The more you know, the less realistic your reactions.

Chris Harris

Being at the genesis of the creative process is definitely something I want to keep doing. It's just such a great buzz.

Chris O'Dowd

Sometimes, as I feel a door or an exit point in my work is closing, I'll try to create an opening so as not to stifle the creative process, which I see as a process that's never-ending.

Chris Ofili

If I have a talent, it lies in the creative process.

Chris Stapleton

'Romance' is based on my entire creative process. I fall in love with an idea, obsess over it, isolate myself with it, and when I eventually introduce it to my friends, they all tell me that it's stupid.

Chuck Palahniuk

My sights have always been on acting, on the creative process, never the lifestyle. Growing up in Northern Ireland when I did, everything was against you if you wanted to do something like that. But I was determined.

Colin Morgan

Coffee has always been a significant part of my life. For me, it's a chance to start my day and gather my thoughts - it's fuel for my creative process.

Connor Franta

I am the kind of guy who has never taken myself too seriously. I mean, I am very serious about what I do; I'm very serious about the creative process and everything, but at the end of the day, I am just another lucky geek who got to live out a dream, you know?

Corey Taylor

I think cooking has the same creative process as designing, where you have the ingredients, you have the alchemy part of it, and you have the satisfaction of seeing your creation become a reality.

Cynthia Rowley

We are the yin and the yang of the creative process.

Cynthia Weil

As creators, we feel constant demand for innovation from the world. This puts immense pressure on the creative process and oftentimes can have a dampening effect.

Dave Morin

I have a very clear vision as to what I want at the end of my prep, and then I throw it out and let the creative process take over.

David Boreanaz

I have to be involved. Whether it's me writing by myself or with other people, I definitely want to have my hand in the creative process. That's part of why I got into music in the first place.

David Cook

Filmmaking is hard. I mean, it's not that hard, but it is hard to find your way through a system because there's a lot of people, there's money, there's a big machine to kind of make it - and how to find methods and processes that allow it to continue to be a lively process and a creative process.

David MacKenzie

There is no creative process to come up with a character of Dean Ambrose.

Dean Ambrose

Visual storytelling combines the narrative text of a story with creative elements to augment and enhance the traditional storytelling process. By design, it is a co-creative process resulting in an intimate, interpretive, expressive technique.

Debbie Millman

We can actually accelerate the process through meditation, through the ability to find stillness through loving actions, through compassion and sharing, through understanding the nature of the creative process in the universe and having a sense of connection to it. So, that's conscious evolution.

Deepak Chopra

For me, the scale of the budget is part of the creative process. 'Swingers' is the movie it is because we made it for exactly the right budget. Had it been made for a higher number, it would not have been as imaginative as we had to make it, given the budget constraints we had.

Doug Liman

There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release.

Eddie Van Halen

I think there's no creative process that goes without injuries and scratches and punches. You get beat up somehow, and that's part of the commitment. You have to be open to that.

Edgar Ramirez

I like acting; I like being lost in the creative process.

Ellar Coltrane

Living in London as a student is tough. And my heart goes out to every single drama student in London because, as an actor, it's a creative process that you are taking on, and if you don't get to do it every day, it hurts.

Emilia Clarke

My background was producing and writing and performing in television when I started out, and I really missed that, that whole creative process that comes from sort of 'me' storytelling.

Eric Bana

Why my interest in writers? Well, I'm one, and many of my friends are writers. I know what it's like to write. I'm interested in the creative process. I'm fascinated by the disparity between who we are on the outside, and what we have bubbling away inside us.

Eric Brown

Any creative process comes with a level of self-analysis and self-criticism. There's a lot of waking up in the middle of the night going, 'Oh, I wish I had done that differently.'

Felicity Jones

Kate Moss makes you dream. She has such a passion for art and the creative process.
