I try to read as much as I can. It is an act that constantly stirs thoughts and generates ideas for me. Here is something I've been chewing on recently:

"Authenticity is invaluable. Originality is nonexistent. Steal, adapt, borrow. It doesn't matter where one takes things from. It's where one takes them to. Devour old films, new films, history books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, whatever. Only steal from things that speak directly to you. If you do this, your work will be authentic."
