Finding inspiration is something that one can do anywhere, anytime. I see things on billboards, hear people chatting and surf the internet and find all kinds of great things.
Here is just another great collective grouping of creative people's stories, like Martin Scorsese. Scorsese is one of the legends of the Hollywood film industry, he knows what he is doing and to hear him echo some of our own strategies is pretty fucking great. When I find out that someone as rad as Martin Scorsese has the same type of strategies as me, I feel like a freakin' genius (just for a second, then I get my ego back in check). Here are just a few takeaways from his interview. See the whole thing here.
1. RESPECT THE PAST:
Remember where we all came from, no matter what industry you choose to pursue. Be knowledgeable about those who came before you and respectful of the path paving they have done for you.
2. TRUST YOUR CONFIDANTS...BUT NOT TOO MUCH:
All great creators need a good team to work with, your support system is important BUT remember to hold your own when you are passionate about your opinions and beliefs.
3. FIND ANOTHER OUTLET..OR EIGHT:
When we get so focused on our career, it's easy to forget about all of the other things that we enjoy. But never forget that to be a truly creative person, we have to be well rounded and interesting. And nobody thinks you're interesting if you don't do anything other than work.
