John Cleese On Creativity

“The general principle is this: the bigger the leap, the longer the creative period is likely to be. If you’re writing creatively, you can improve scripts hugely by making lots of smaller improvements that aren’t very creative at all.” (John Cleese, Creativity)

Cleese’s insights inspire writers to focus on the bigger picture and to be patient with their creative process, knowing that substantial progress often comes from taking bold, transformative steps.
