As A Person, I'm Polite - I

National Identity Is A Motion. It's Something You're Inside, You Don't Get What's Happening, You Can't See It From Above. And That's Where You Have To Write. You Can't See What's Happening Now Or What's Going To Happen, So You Just Dive Into It And Write.

I Think There Are A Lot Of Similarities Between Writing And Music. Music Is Much More Direct And Much More Emotional And That's The Level I Want To Be At When I'm Writing. Writing Is Much More Intellectual And Indirect And Abstract, In A Way.

Shameless Actually Good Since It Gives A Kind Of Freedom. We Consider The Old, Functionless Shame Destructive. Today, If You Have A Strong Sense Of Shame You Also Have A Strong Desire To Overcome It. And That's When You Can Write.

As A Person, I'm Polite - I Want To Please.

If You Are Disappearing From Yourself, But You're Still Writing, Then There Is A Kind Of Activity Of Thinking Going On, Which In My World Is Similar To What's Going On In Music.
