Charlie Mingus, jazz pianist and composer, reputedly said:
"Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can play weird — that's easy. What's hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple complicated is commonplace — making the complicated simple, awesomely simple — that's creativity."
