When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best - that is inspiration.
I felt Joyce was an influence on my fiction but in a very general way as a kind of inspiration and a model for the beauty of language.
As an inspiration to the author I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace power beauty motion mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats I am only surprised that all do not.
I came back to performing with a different attitude about performing and myself. I wasn't expecting perfection any more just hoping for an occasional inspiration.
I view art as an inspirational tool.
Information and inspiration are everywhere... history art architecture everything an illustrator needs. Europe is after all the land that has generated most of the enduring myths and legends of Western culture.
Architecture is not an inspirational business it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things that's all.
Whether one agrees or disagrees with the tactics of the Occupy Wall Street movement it's easy to understand the inspiration for its anger as well as its impatience.
We're taught to be ashamed of confusion anger fear and sadness and to me they're of equal value to happiness excitement and inspiration.
You know Johnny Depp has always been a massive inspiration for me and he's somebody who has produced an incredible amount of work and every single piece that he does is amazing.
