“People ask me, 'Don't you ever run out of ideas?' In the first place I don't use ideas. Every time I have an idea it's too limiting, and usually turns out to be a disappointment. But I haven't run out of curiosity.”
The speaker rejects the notion of relying on fixed ideas, viewing them as constraints that often lead to disappointment, and instead values an endless curiosity as the driver of creative work.
In simple terms: Curiosity fuels creation more than static ideas.
Ideas are limiting; curiosity is limitless.
