About This Quote

This quote from Margaret Cho’s book, “I’m the One That I Want,” is an inspiring reminder that creativity is about standing up for yourself. Creativity is not just about creating something new. Creativity is about making something new by using something old. Creativity is about changing old rules or making them new ones.

Creativity can be about taking something that is ordinary and making it extraordinary. Creativity can be taking something that no one else has ever seen before and making it look like it always belonged to you.
