If You Say A Word Often Enough

I Was A Mimic When I Was A Child. I Mimicked The Teacher And Made Friends That Way, Actually. That Was A Very Subversive Activity, Because I Was A Goody-goody Who Never Got In Trouble. But If I Went Off In The Corner And Mimicked The Teacher, People Loved It.

You Know, Real Artists, We Expose Our Flaws. We Long For Intimacy.

I Don't Talk A Lot When I Interview. My Job Is To Get Out Of The Way.

I Think What I Am Is A "convener"; I Like To Convene People Around Ideas.

If I Do Three Interviews In A Day, I Can Be Exhausted, Because The Process Of Hearing Everyone Requires That I Empty Out Myself. While I'm Listening, My Own Judgments And Prejudices Certainly Come Up. But I Know I Won't Get Anything Unless I Get Those Things Out Of The Way.
