I love talking on the topic of creativity. I could do it. If I meet another cartoonist, I will go on and on and on asking about their process. I don’t care about — most people focus in on the results like the fame or the people they met.
I focus in on when they create, where do they create, what room of the house, is the door closed, is it open, is there music on, is there not, you know, do you watch what you eat, do you do it after you eat, do you do it hungry, do you do it — I’m fascinated by that. And so when anybody says anything, a painter or anything about how they create, I’m riveted. Like Brian Wilson putting sand around his piano. There’s a lot in that.
Or Dylan doing his lyrics on a typewriter. Or what comes first, the melody, the song or the words. Paul McCartney had no words for Yesterday. It was scrambled eggs, like I was scrambled eggs, like something, something. And then they later got something for it. But it is such a gift and it’s such a — I wish everybody could feel it. It’s so cool. There’s no high that’s that high.
