“When I’m able to write like that, I feel ecstasy and unity with all Creation. It’s like an athlete performing an 'impossible' feat with seeming effortlessness and grace. I live for that… When I’m in that state, I don’t care about money or sex or food. I don’t care about who I am or what I am. I don’t care if I’m in the front of the line or at the very end. I don’t even care if I’m alive or dead, because it seems I’m in the same place, either way.”
