One of the first issues I dealt with was the struggle to find a language, to find my own words.

When I visit new places, I like to see the markets.

One gets wrapped up in reacting to ones own reputation, which can be a kind of trap.

If we have too much clarity, we might not be compelled to continue searching for new ideas.
