Thank god for deadlines and obligations, they’ve generated so much creative work for the world.

You see a lot of successful people generate a lot less, especially older people with a wide open timeline.

For ex Stanley Kubrick spent 10yrs working on a Napoleon film he never released and only published when he perfected his films. Which is good and bad.

I also read Schoolboy Q recently made 3 albums and deleted them all because he wasn’t happy. The luxury of being successful without deadlines.
