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

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

An idea is a feat of association, and the height of it is a good metaphor.

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

I get my ideas from listening from within.

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.
