People who don't read seem to me mysterious. I don't know how they think or learn about other people. Novels are a very important part of our education.
I was inspired by a lot of people when I was young. Every band that came through town, to the theater, or the dance hall. I was at every dance, every night club, listened to every band that came through, because in those days we didn't have MTV, we didn't have television.
Fluidity and discontinuity are central to the reality in which we live.
