When I Grew Up, I Was In

I Kind Of Dread Any Kind Of Critical Response, Just Because It's Always Painful In Some Way. Even If It's 80 Percent Good, It's The 20 Percent That's Bad That You Remember - And That's A Higher Number Than I Usually Get, 80 Percent Would Be Amazing.

On The One Hand, People Think They Own Kids; They Feel That They Have The Right To Tell The Kids What To Do. On The Other Hand, People Envy Kids. We'd Like To Be Kids Our Whole Lives. Kids Get To Do What They Do. They Live On Their Instincts.

Whenever Somebody Says They Need An Angle For Their Story I Always Fear That They've Got An Idea And They Want Me To Fit Into It Or They Want Me To Come Up With An Idea Myself Or I'm Supposed To Be More Revealing Than I've Been, And To Me It Just Sounds Like Something I Don't Want To Do.

If Somebody Says What They Want Or What They Need It Gives The Person The Chance To Say Yes Or No, Instead Of Suffering In Silence Or Depravation Or Whatever It Is.

I Wouldn't Say We Were Doing That. I Think We Probably Stopped Thinking. Though It Took A While To Stop Thinking.
