Terry Gilliam was asked, How do you get your ideas to come to - TopicsExpress



          

Terry Gilliam was asked, How do you get your ideas to come to life? He answered, I used to say I knew where the ideas came from. Because I’d go to bed, and I’d leave my shoes by the bed. And I’d wake up and there’d be these little elves that would come in and put ideas in my shoes, and I’d just use them. I refuse to intellectualize, or try to understand how it happens. It happens, and I just try to ride with it. And the frightening thing is when it doesn’t happen, it’s actually terrifying because you realize, I’ve dried up. It’s finally happened: the well is empty. But, then if you get through those periods, then something starts happening again. A lot of what happens, it’s like doing a painting without actually doing a sketch in advance. You just start and you got this, you add another thing, boom, boom, boom. #TerryGilliamLivesInsideMyHead
