I was a savage for so many years of my life. There was some seed of determination in me that I was not conscious of. I was mostly consciously getting into trouble and drunk.

I just knew at an early time in my life how important privacy was.

Many years ago, I really didn't know where the next work was coming from.

I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.

I can't honestly account for the very personal response that I have to one story and not another, a sense of an orbit, the orbit of a world that draws me as my own life recedes.

At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve.
