Interview with:Megan Hopkins [mhopkins]
CREATIVITY
 | How and why did you begin to be creative? Kindergarten and I don't know just loved making construction paper dinosaurs. |
| Your mind is your work tool. How do you take care of it? I keep it limber and as open as possible at all times. |
| How do you avoid repeating yourself, or falling into formula? How do you stay fresh? It's a work in progress... |
| What cultural sources do you draw from the most? Music, food, and life. |
| Who have your teachers been? All of my friends and fellow musicians. And Google. |
| Have you ever had a job that was so stimulating that you could not get your mind off of it? Music. |
| "To give birth to ideas." Is this only an expression, or are there really parallels between giving birth and creativity? I had never attempted music other than in school choir until 2 months after my first (and only thus far) child was born and I wrote my first song. I do not read music and at the time only sang. It is a year and a half later and I have been an apprentice in studio, sell guitars @ one of the local music stores, host an open mic, and can play a decent rhythm guitar. So yea I would have to say there might be a connection. Though I'm no scientist. |
| Does spirituality contribute to your creativity? Life moves in waves. I take the ups and downs and do my best to make strawberry lemonade ;) |
| Declaration: With what person or business would you like to work? Grace Potter AND the Nocturnals. |
| The armchair psychologist: Is creativity an act of rebellion for you? Of course. |
| What is the best advertisement you've seen recently? Social Networking on the World Wide Web |
| Do you work well under pressure? Most of the time. |
| What city in the world currently attracts you due to its creative environment? Torn between Asheville, NC and Burlington, VT |
| How is an idea sold? I believe that a good salesman sells himself, and when done properly his product will sell itself. |
| Ideas can come simultaneously to different people in different places with no connection to one another. How do you explain this phenomenon? The Collective Energy |
| You are as good as your last idea. Wouldn't you like to have a more secure type of work? To be an idea man is to be a multiple basket man. And if you have more than one basket you greatly increase your odds of victory. |
