Great video on the creative process by Ira Glass (This American Life). The main point is that if you want to make really good work, you need create and then discard much of it. It's only through sheer volume that can you generate a steady stream of good work.

This is why editors and collaborators are so important to the creative process.

Quoted:
- It's time to kill. It's time to enjoy the killing. Because, by killing, you will make something else even better live.
- Not enough gets said about the importance of abandoning crap.
- All radio/television production is trying to be crap.
