Creativity is always a leap of faith. You're faced with a blank page, blank easel, or an empty stage.

I live for the blank page.

I enjoy the freedom of the blank page.

Faith is almost the bottom line of creativity; it requires a leap of faith any time we undertake a creative endeavor, whether this is going to the easel, or the page, or onto the stage - or for that matter, in a homelier way, picking out the right fabric for the kitchen curtains, which is also a creative act.

It's always a leap of faith when you get involved with somebody.

As a writer, a blank page will humble the hell out of you. It always does, and it always will.
