• Our historical bequest is sublime. I have inherited a fragmented but highly creative
  exile and, since 1948, a home. I don't know that I want to settle there. I prefer the
  creative spur of exile. () But wherever I am I shall be Jewish, and that sound will
  inform every syllable I write. I am blessed with a long ancestry of wisdom, prophecy,
  and promise, a line of overwhelming creative achievements, courage, humor, and,
  above all, a dogged and chronic permanence, the greatest legacy of all.

• It would be a mistake to ascribe this creative power to an inborn talent. In art, the genius creator is not just a gifted being, but a person who has succeeded in arranging for their appointed end, a complex of activities, of which the work is the outcome. The artist begins with a vision — a creative operation requiring an effort. Creativity takes courage.

• If I had to express in one word what makes their [creative individuals'] personalities different from others, it's complexity. They show tendencies of thought and action that in most people are segregated. They contain contradictory extremes; instead of being an "individual," each of them is a "multitude."

• I'd like to do a lot of different stuff. I think it's important as a creative person to keep challenging yourself and keep doing new stuff. If you end up trying to repeat yourself it's death.
