I think influence and imitation are different. You can be influenced to do something and then be inspired. But this was more so from the perspective of the person who likes to be imitated.
Nice twist to a known saying. Ego certainly has a lot to do with it. I also believe that imitation is the laziest form of creating things. Don’t get me started with examples of movies, music, and inventions. Hahaha!
lol I agree to an extent. It is certainly a lot easier to look at what someone else is doing and just copy that in some way. In the society we’ve all created, it seems an act of rebellion to be one’s own creative self 😉

Of course. That’s a good quote about being one’s original creative self being a rebellion of sorts.
