I prefer stories about people who are, in a sense, trying to find better versions of themselves.
“In order to understand what they need to understand, in order to write what they write, they have to be free. And yet, they aren't ever free. They are not free because they are not free of the constrictions their art puts on them.”
“What I lack in talent, I compensate with my willingness to grind it out. That's the secret of my life.”
