Your Monday Inspiration: John Cleese on Cultivating Creativity

by Jolie Roberson

I have grown up on John Cleese.  My mother was a huge fan of "Fawlty Towers" and "Monty Python" so, of course, I am now a huge fan.  I find these videos below to be inspirational not just because I adore John Cleese, but because I have a reference now of what it took to create all that he has created.  It's so disheartening to try and try to create and get nowhere, I know I've been there my fair share of the time, but what he says specifically about tolerating the discomfort of not having an answer in order to come up with the most creative solution made my day.  "Look, baby-cakes, I don't have to decide 'til Tuesday."  Enjoy, be inspired, play!
