"In what ways do you foster your own creativity?"
When I'm feeling inspired by something I begin to draw, or write. Perhaps if I'm having a horrible day- or there are a million thoughts swarming my head I can unleash them all onto a piece of paper. From the release of emotion in a creative way comes beautiful productions. Art is a way of turning negative feelings into something positive and captivating.
"Is creativity a sign of genius or can you be creative and stupid?"
If a person is creative- it doesn't automatically make them intelligent in a typical way which others would recognize, but it does show that they have some sort of mental complexity that enables them to produce wonderful things. There was once a kid I knew who sat dimly and quietly everyday- he had no desire to achieve anything spectacular when it came to his science class. Most people just assumed he wasn't too bright- but ever so often I'd look over and see intriguing and gorgeous works of art that stemmed from his silence. So I knew that there was more than meets the eye, there always is. Intelligence comes in many forms.

Is creativity a sign of genius or can you be creative and stupid?

I don't know. Its more like having a unique mindset. Hard to say it has to do with stupidity or intelligence. Creative people are more likely to discard limitations and do things they want to. Its also more a reflection of your style .
I mean alot of people have crackpot ideas in their heads,. but crossing the line and making it happen is another matter because of conformist modern culture. Expressing creativity is not very easy because it defies logic and structure.

The anticreativity force is very strong in society. But then it is also about overcoming your own limitations.
