Why you should listen to her:
From where does creativity flow? In 2000, Julie Burstein created Public Radio International's show Studio 360 to explore pop culture and the arts. Hosted by novelist Kurt Andersen and produced at WNYC, the show is a guide to what's interesting now -- and asks deep questions about the drive behind creative work. Now, Burstein has written Spark: How Creativity Works, filled with stories about artists, writers and musicians (like Chuck Close, Isabel Allende, Patti Lupone). Burstein is the host of pursuitofspark.com full of conversations about creative approaches to the challenges, possibilities and pleasures of everyday life and work. She also "loves sitting in for Leonard Lopate."
"Spark is about joy, drive, and art, work that we’re all capable of if we’ll only commit."Seth Godin
Quotes by Julie Burstein
-
“The story that we all live [is] the cycle of creation and destruction, of control and letting go, of picking up the pieces and making something new.”
-
“In order to create, we have to stand in that space between what we see in the world, and what we hope for.”
-
“For creativity to flourish [requires] the embrace of loss, the oldest and most constant of human experiences.”
