Saying What You Believe Others Want To

I Think That The Best Literature Has A Core That You Can't Lock To A Time Or Place But That Can Generate Lots Of Meanings And Translations.

I Try To Write About Small Insignificant Things. I Try To Find Out If It’s Possible To Say Anything About Them. And I Almost Always Do If I Sit Down And Write About Something. There Is Something In That Thing That I Can Write About. It’s Very Much Like A Rehearsal. An Exercise, In A Way.

Saying What You Believe Others Want To Hear Is, Of Course, A Form Of Lying.

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.

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.
