A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
For me, just being on the cover of a magazine wasn't enough. I began to think, what value is there in doing something in which you have no creative input?
对我来说，仅仅登上杂志封面是不够的。我开始思考，做一件没有创造性投入的事情有什么价值?
Many highly talented, brilliant, creative people think they’re not — because the thing they were good at school wasn’t valued, or was actually stigmatized.
许多才华横溢、才华横溢、富有创造力的人认为他们不是——因为他们在学校擅长的东西没有得到重视，或者实际上被污名化了。
Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life.

Our current obsession with creativity is the result of our continued striving for immortality in an era when most people no longer believe in an after-life.

Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality; they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination.

It's precisely in those moments when I don't know what to do, boredom drives one to try a host of possibilities to either get somewhere or not get anywhere.

I pick up my guitar and play. Something might come, and then the pen comes out. Then an edit, until something comes out that you're actually satisfied with.
我拿起吉他弹起来。可能有什么东西来了，然后笔就出来了。然后进行编辑，直到出现一些你真正满意的内容。
I think that one of the things that influences me most as a composer is to what extent I can deconstruct and reconstruct the material that I'm working with.
我认为作为一个作曲家，对我影响最大的一件事就是我能在多大程度上解构和重建我正在创作的材料。
The principle of the endless melody is the perpetual becoming of a music that never had any reason for starting, any more than it has any reason for ending.

The key to this collaboration - which we undertook after much deliberation - was to stretch creatively. New characters, new locales, new form (the novella).

So I learnt a few country western songs, I bought a chord book, and right away I started writing my own stuff, which nobody else did that, I don't know why.
所以我学了几首西部乡村歌曲，买了一本和弦书，然后马上开始写自己的东西，其他人都没写过，我不知道为什么。
We weren't afraid to mix some crazy styles into the standard rockabilly look. We also took a lot of different musical influences that were part of that era.
我们不害怕把一些疯狂的风格融入到标准的摇滚风格中。我们也接受了很多不同的音乐影响，那是那个时代的一部分。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Science, like art, is not a copy of nature but a re-creation of her.
科学和艺术一样，不是对自然的复制，而是对自然的再创造。
Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.
科学是建立在事实之上的，正如房子是用石头砌成的一样。但是收集事实并不是一门科学，正如一堆石头并不是一所房子一样。
