“There's a great way to get you drawing and writing again. Get off your ass and do it. Stop looking for inspiration. There’s no such thing. Just get up and go to work. Get out your bed, have a wash, sit down. Especially before everybody else gets to work - when you can hear them; who go along the street going to work in their cars and their bicycles and the buses think I am a lucky bastard - that I could be on that bus going to a rotten job, but here I am, the world is waiting for me to give them the magic from the ends of my fingers. That’s how you do it. There’s no such thing as being influenced by somebody. It sounds like one of those answers those rotten teachers would give you. But unfortunately, it’s true. There's nothing without work. Get up and do it. I know that with the drawing I put it off for weeks sometimes and i’m waiting for influence, and it never comes, because it doesn’t exist. That's the

influence [he says wiggling his fingers] Yeah. Sit down and do it. And that’s all i’ve got to say. I hope I don't sound as if I'm giving you a bad time, but it's it's the best advice you'll ever have.” -Sir Billy Connolly
