“You can't decide to turn creativity on or off. You can't tell yourself to have a good idea. The best you can do is try to create an environment where good ideas can happen”

Simplified Meaning:

Being creative is not something you can control easily. You can't just tell yourself to think of a great idea. The most you can do is set up a space or situation that makes it more likely for good ideas to come to you.
