An idea comes as near to something for nothing as you can get.

Every business is a monarchy with, not a man, but an idea as king.

An idea is something that won't work unless you do.

To get a great idea, come up with lots of them.

When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.

I don't force it. If you don't have an idea and you don't hear anything going over and over in your head, don't sit down and try to write a song. You know, go mow the lawn...My songs speak for themselves.
