"We must labor to remember our first reasons for wanting to create. As children we stirred up mudpies, spent hours raising sandcasles, building huts from fallen branches; why? Because to create is a natural response to joy. It is simply what we human beings do. We didn't begin creating for any outward result. We did it for the fun of making something that wasn't there before. The work of every true writer [photographer, sculpturer, painter, ...] is to remove everything that stands between oneself and one's original state of joy."
