The Artist Does Not Have To Suffer

I Love Mysteries. To Fall Into A Mystery And Its Danger ... Everything Becomes So Intense In Those Moments. When Most Mysteries Are Solved, I Feel Tremendously Let Down. So I Want Things To Feel Solved Up To A Point, But There's Got To Be A Certain Percentage Left Over To Keep The Dream Going. It's Like At The End Of Chinatown: The Guy Says, 'forget It, Jake, It's Chinatown.' You Understand It, But You Don't Understand It, And It Keeps That Mystery Alive. That's The Most Beautiful Thing.
