David Lynch, Chuck Close, Susan Orlean, and a sampling of others describe the mysteries of inspiration that generate their ideas in this short but sweet film by Andrew Norton.
I agree with those who say that inspiration requires work, not waiting. The more you absorb, the more likely you will have a moment of transcendent inspiration.
It a nice companion piece to his film about decisiveness:
