"The worst thing you do when you think is lie -- you can make up reasons that are not true for the things that you did, and what you're trying to do as a creative person is surprise yourself -- find out who you really are, and try not to lie, try to tell the truth all the time. And the only way to do this is by being very active and very emotional, and get it out of yourself -- making things that you hate and things that you love, you write about these then, intensely. When it's over, then you can think about it; then you can look, it works or it doesn't work, something is missing here. And, if something is missing, then you go back and reemotionalize that part, so it's all of a piece. But thinking is to be a corrective in our life -- it's not supposed to be a center of our life.
