What do you think being creative means?
Being creative is the skill of using a thought process along with the abilities of the person till all the resources possible are seized, to find in that singularity a fissure. An escape out of the commonplace. And be able to finalize that process transforming the idea into a language: literature, film, medicine, architecture. It could be applied to everything. Being creative is the capacity to diverge, of taking the incorrect option. Fromm says: “creativity requires the value of letting certainties go”. There is in the creative instinct a power of destruction above the presets that conduct you to act.
How do you include creativity in your life?
I always try to be open to the impulses, to induce myself with things that shake me. To be hungry for music, art, for singular people, honest people who have something to tell. That’s what moves me to sit and write. To burn.
What are your thoughts on how your life has influenced your creative imagination, and how your creative imagination has influenced your life?
Being hungry to try everything in my scope and to perfect myself as an artist has made me what I am. Fortunately, I could manage to make it that my creative imagination and my life feedback themselves into my work.
What, if any, exercises do you do to get into a creative mode?
I like to strangulate the idea through thinking, till I finally asphyxiate it. Just then, I sit and write. The exercise is the writing itself. Sharpen the idea till the blade can open the belly of a trout with just one cut.
How important do you think creativity is in life?
Being creative gives you the opportunity to be closer to freedom, like having an amplitude of debris (possibilities) to hold onto if you were in a shipwreck.
