“I like the construction of sentences and the juxtaposition of words-not just how they sound or what they mean, but even what they look like.”
“I've been & am absurdly over-estimated. There are no supermen & I'm quite ordinary, & will say so whatever the artistic results. In that point I'm one of the few people who tell the truth about myself.”
