BF: What makes your creativity thrive?
DM: I don’t think I look at creativity as a thing. I don’t know if it’s something that has to be catered to, or pampered. I think of creativity as a solution to a problem. But if your asking how I stay inspired, then I’d have to say it’s sort of involuntary. I create because I don’t know what else to do. Some days you don’t feel inspired and you search for inspiration in the work of others. I can read a great piece of writing and decide to write something myself. Or see a movie. I can see a great photograph and that will inspire me to want to shoot something myself. Books, Magazines, You Tube, Pinterest. There is such a ridiculous world of content out there. Any style, any execution you can imagine. Almost endless, you always have to decide how to take that inspiration and make it your own.
