Anything important has to be almost invisible. And underrated. So the understructure should be underrated, but strong enough to hold the earth.

I study what I work with. I studied all these different fields of science that I needed for my work. I studied how to mine a landfill and what to plant in it. It's fascinating because you learn a new field each time.

Words are changing. I find that old expressions are outdated, so when I write something, I try to find a new expression that hasn't been born yet. It's difficult.

People are always fighting reality until it's pushed down their throats.

I'm mostly self-taught. I didn't learn much in school.

I always was alone. And I'm alone today. It's fine. I have lots of friends, but not in terms of working together.

One thing that's paramount in my life is that I am alone. I'm a loner. And yet I have many friends and I don't feel lonely. And I even like my own company. But when I'm alone, it's to read or write. I'm in my thoughts. Mostly I'm learning.
