There's nothing worse than finding yourself in a situation, a very demanding piece of work, and knowing that you're not a true ally to the person who's in charge of all that.

I avoid talking about the way I work. But in avoiding it I seem only to have encouraged people to focus their fantasies about me in an ever more fantastical way on the details that are not at all at the centre of the work.

There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.

Many years ago, I really didn't know where the next work was coming from.

Just stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far. I will find you!

I was a savage for so many years of my life. There was some seed of determination in me that I was not conscious of. I was mostly consciously getting into trouble and drunk.

I have no role models. Many heroes. I have an enormous capacity for hero worship.
