You Are An Explorer. You Understand That

I Went As Far Away From Home As Possible In Terms Of The Development Of My Imagination.

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

I Never Know When Somebody's Going To Knock On The Door Of My Own Unconscious In A Way That I Wouldn't Have Anticipated.

Some People Study A Text Very Deeply. The People Are My Text. I Study Their Words And What Their Words Sound Like, Over And Over Again. When I Was A Kid, My Grandfather Said That "if You Say A Word Often Enough, It Becomes You." Thinking Of That Later In Life Gave Me This Idea That I Could Try To Become America By Learning The Words Of People From Many Aspects Of The Country. It Doesn't Matter How Educated They Are. By Living In The World And Living Their Experiences, They Bring Extraordinary Truths. I Try To Do Those Truths Justice.

People In Power Have To Be Careful About What Comes Out Of Their Mouth. They Have To Find Exactly The Right Word That Can't Be Attacked.
