Thoughts on Creative Process

I've always thought my creative process was like watching a murky, flickering film in my head, at which I've aimed an ancient unreliable camera. The trick is to push the shutter at the right moment. I don't think I have the control that a ringmaster might, it implies too much authority. Sometimes I feel art is something that happens to me as opposed to something I direct, and that when I try to orchestrate the monkeys and clowns I inevitably fail.
