If you want to be creative, don't try to do something new. Doing something new means NOT doing what's been done before, and that's a negative impulse. Negative impulses are frustrating. They're the opposite of creativity, and they never yield good ideas.

Eva Zeisel

If I'm not learning from something that I'm doing, then that means I've done it before. Do something different, even if it's within the same medium.

Justin Timberlake

The desire that we have to do something that’s never been done before means that the people who are around you generally will not encourage you to do it…if they were encouraging you to do it, then other people would be doing it already and it wouldn’t be unique.

Seth Godin

I had never even thought about doing something that I'd never done before or proving anything.

Harrison Ford

What I enjoy most is doing something I've never done before.

Karl Lagerfeld

When I start writing songs, and they come easily, I'm always very suspicious. That usually means they're reminding me of something I've already done before. When the songs become unsettling, and I feel anxious about what I'm doing, that usually means it's going to be more interesting later on when we actually record the stuff.

Nick Cave

Uncomfortable doesn't mean bad, uncomfortable simply means you're doing something you haven't done before.

Joe Vitale

You look at any industry - you're not innovating unless people are questioning it. If you're innovating, you're doing something nobody's done before, which means you're re-writing rules, resetting boundaries, re-creating systems. And that means the traditional industry is going to question it.

Ryan Kavanaugh

I absolutely made the decision that that cannot be the reason why I'm doing a film or a job. For me, it's always about the script and whether I'm doing something that I've never done before.

Jessica Chastain

I hate to be the person that's like, "We're doing something that's never been done before."

Lena Dunham

An entrepreneur is somebody who is taking bold risks, is often doing things that have never been done before, trying to do things better. And an adventurer is challenging themselves, often doing things that have never been done before, seeing what they're capable of. In both cases, you've got to protect against the downside.

Richard Branson

It's so important to me that I feel like I'm doing something that's never been done before, whether that's in the show, or I'm writing a song. I can exist in this little box here, but I have to do something new with it.

Rivers Cuomo

I've never done this level of physical preparation for something. Particularly for 'Rogue One' where I was training every day and doing kung fu rehearsals on a daily basis. But that's part of the reason I wanted to do it, because it was very different from what I've done before.

Felicity Jones

I'm going to sound like an old man but at my age, it's lovely doing something that you've never done before.

Roddy Doyle

With experience, you suddenly realise you know how to do things or that you've done something like this before. And I think as you get more confident, you can sit back and try and weigh up the options of doing something or not doing something.
