The Way I Relax, What I Like

I Want My Characters To Suggest The Background In Themselves, Even When It Is Not Visible. I Want Them To Be So Powerfully Realized That We Cannot Imagine Them Apart From Their Physical And Social Context Even When We See Them In Empty Space.

Favourite Directors Change, Like Favorite Authors. I Had A Passion For Gide And Stein And Faulkner. But Now They're No Use To Me Anymore. I've Assimilated Them - So, Enough, They Are A Closed Chapter. This Also Applies To Film Directors.

I Would Throw Out The Sense Of Nation, "good Breeding," Certain Forms And Ceremonies That Govern Relationships - Perhaps Even Jealousy. We're Not Aware Of All Of Them Yet, Though We Suffer From Them. And They Mislead Us Not Only About Ethics But Also About Aesthetics.

I'm Not Rich And Maybe I'll Never Be Rich. Money Is Useful - Yes - But I Don't Worship It.

When I See Nature, When I Look Into The Sky, The Dawn, The Sun, The Colors Of Insects, Snow Crystals, The Night Stars, I Don't Feel A Need For God. Perhaps When I Can No Longer Look And Wonder, When I Believe In Nothing - Then, Perhaps, I Might Need Something Else. But I Don't Know What.
