Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits.

I don't want to keep playing the same formula over and over again, otherwise you just go insane. I don't want to become stale. I want to be creative.

I like solitude. I like the anomalous life. I like a quiet life.

Groups break up because they never got across what they wanted to do personally, and they have creative differences, and egos start to clash.

I would rather be stricken blind than to live without expression of mind.

For whatever you're doing, for your creative juices, your geography's got a hell of a lot to do with it. You really have to be in a good place, and then you have to be either on your way there or on your way from there.
