Love And Despair Go Hand In Hand.

I Found Out About Reviews Early On. They're Mostly Written By Sad Men On Bad Afternoons. That's Probably Why I'm Less Angry Than Some Writers, Who Are So Narcissistic They Consider Every Line Of Every Review, Even A Thoughtful One, As Major Treason.

I Wanted Very Much To Be Miles Davis When I Was A Boy, But Without The Practice. It Just Looked Like An Endless Road.

Some Writers Are Curiously Unmusical. I Don't Get It. I Don't Get Them. For Me, Music Is Essential. I Always Have Music On When I'm Doing Well. Writing And Music Are Two Different Mediums, But Musical Phrases Can Give You Sentences That You Didn't Think You Ever Had.

I'll Tell You Why I Like Writing: It's Just Jumping Into A Pool. I Get Myself Into A Kind Of Trance. I Engage The World, But It's Also Wonderful To Just Escape. I Try To Find The Purities Out Of The Confusion. It's Pretty Old-fashioned, But It's Fun.
