Reading Creative Filmmaking

I love the thought that creative freedom comes from structured discipline. It makes total sense and other wise we would all be one of those crazy artists who has zero structure, goals, or discipline and lives under an interstate somewhere.
Hanif Kureishi, "I think ideas come when they know you're  going to be sitting there waiting for them. Out of the chaos of the rest of my life, I have to create space and time to write."
The book states that the film makers in the chapter capture the parodox of diligent dreaminess, focused play. We are all artists and we are all creative in a sense. It is really up to us how to harness that and what kind of barriers we put in the way. To me this chapter is saying that our creativity is a muscle. It is something that needs constant attention and daily routines for it to live to it's max. Other wise it is there but pale weak and hidden behind a metaphorical turtle neck sweater.
