For Me, There Is Nothing More Valuable

I Try To Connect To Human Emotion. I'm Always Looking For Something Primal, Something Really Base That Is Beyond Language, That People Understand Beyond Language.

There Is Nothing Like Having To Change Your Physical Form To Put You In Contact With Every Weak Part Of Yourself, To Train Yourself In Discipline. Put Somebody On A Treadmill And I'll Tell You How Good They Are At Any Other Thing They Do In Life.

The Value Of A Story Isn't That It Just Has A Narcotic Effect. It's That It Awakens Something In You That Makes You Want To Think, That Makes You Talk To Other People, That Stirs Something That Makes You Examine The Story That Eventually Turns Into Self-examination.

So If You Stay Ready, You Ain't Gotta Get Ready, And That Is How I Run My Life.

I've Never Really Viewed Myself As Particularly Talented. I've Viewed Myself As Slightly Above Average In Talent. And Where I Excel Is Ridiculous, Sickening, Work Ethic. You Know, While The Other Guy's Sleeping? I'm Working. While The Other Guy's Eatin'? I'm Working. While The Other Guy's Making Love, I Mean, I'm Making Love, Too. But I'm Working Really Hard At It.
