I Refuse To Cater To The Bullshit

To Be A Healthy Person, You Have To Be Sympathetic To The Child You Once Were And Maintain The Continuity Between You As A Child And You As An Adult.

It Was Inconceivable To Me As A Child That I Would Be An Adult. I Mean, One Assumed That It Would Happen, But Obviously It Didn't Happen, Or If It Did, It Happened When Your Back Was Turned, And Then Suddenly You Were There. So I Couldn't Have Thought About It Much.

You Don't Want To Do Something That's All Terrifying.

All I Liked To Do When I Was A Kid Was Draw. My Childhood Was Like My Adult Life: Drawing Pictures With My Brother, Putting The Comics Up On The Glass Window, And Tracing The Characters Onto Tracing Paper Or Drawing Paper And Then Coloring Them. That And Making Things Was All We Ever Did.

My Life In Brooklyn Was In Constant Danger Because Of My Bad Health.
