Thelonious Monk
American - Musician
October 10, 1917 - February 17, 1982

A muse is something that serves a poet well early in his or her career. In later years one writers out of one's own driven inspiration. One learns to find inspiration rather than waiting for it to come for a visit. I can find inspiration almost anywhere.

Clarence Major

All I can do is be myself, do what I do and if people find inspiration then that's great but it's not what I'm setting out to do.

Laurel Hubbard

I find inspiration and rhythm in everything. Really I do. And I find inspiration in the really quiet moments.

Bill Kreutzmann

Don’t waste time waiting for inspiration. Begin, and inspiration will find you.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

My inspiration comes from so many things, it is hard to give credit to one. I find music of all kinds to be a great inspiration. A melody or a lyric can fire my imagination. Exercise is another. Endorphins fuel my thoughts - I tend to work out scenes and dialogue when I am exercising. Reading is also a great inspiration.

Julia London

I'm heavily influenced by European and American cinema, but the further I get in my career, the more I find myself looking back East for inspiration.

Chloe Zhao

I want to have time for myself, my family and my friends. It's important because in order to sing well, you must have inspiration, and inspiration comes from life, from living.

Andrea Bocelli

My inspiration always comes from different places. Sometimes it's a piece of music or being in nature or seeing a film or reading a magazine. I find inspiration everywhere.

Marie Forleo

Inspiration must find answering inspiration.

Amos Bronson Alcott

More and more, as I grow older, I find myself looking for inspiration in painting, illustration, videogames, and old movies.

Guillermo del Toro

I don't consider myself a musician who has achieved perfection and can't develop any further. But I compose my pieces with a formula that I created myself. Take a musician like John Coltrane. He is a perfect musician, who can give expression to all the possibilities of his instrument. But he seems to have difficulty expressing original ideas on it. That is why he keeps looking for ideas in exotic places. At least I don't have that problem, because, like I say, I find my inspiration in myself.

Thelonious Monk

I find inspiration in what artists and regular people on the street wear, but I'm also very influenced by what I like to wear since I style myself.

Kygo

Inspiration is tough to define, it comes from so many different places. I have multiple exhibitions touring the globe, so I do travel quite a bit and travel is a great way to find inspiration.

Nathan Sawaya

You find inspiration everywhere. The best inspiration is the people you grew up with. Nobody else knows about you than when you were just regular, everyday people. That's where most of it comes from.

Bray Wyatt

I truly find inspiration everywhere. I always tell students, and young people starting out, that the single most important skill, next to listening, is to pay attention. You never know where inspiration will strike.

Nick Wooster

Life: in all it's pain, misery, grandiosity and glory. I sing for myself, yet if others truly find inspiration through my words, then I have accidently done something brilliant in my life.
