great interview with neil previewing the show hes about to do at Carnegie Hall.... this one in The New York Times. I have no idea of what parts of my brain I use to do what I do. Mostly, the creative process is really, really fast. And when it happens, I have a pretty good idea of what something is. I am much more like somebody driving in the dark. My headlights will illuminate a little bit ahead of me, and I know where I’m going. I’m not just driving randomly. this is true for so much art-making, and its why it drives me crazy when someone asks so, how do get an idea for, and then write, a song? i always want to counter back: so, how do you think about your relationships? the HOW of the process is as random as shit, even though you know you have to do it, and you know you do *do* it, and you know that doing it and the *how* of how you do it is important. if i think too much about the how, i can ruin it with self-consciousness. are you following me here? ground control to major tom. nytimes/2014/06/14/books/neil-gaiman-follows-the-guiding-light-of-instinct.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&smid=tw-nytimes&_r=0
