Sometimes one of my characters overrules one of my other characters. I’m trying to get them all to harmonize. It’s a hell of a job. It’s like driving a coach Picture Quote #1

Practically everything I did as an experiment while I was working on the book made me feel cold, angry, and decidedly peculiar. Clinical. Because I wasn’t acting from the motives people usually work from: to feel good, to have fun, to make something last Picture Quote #1

We owe the animals our profoundest apologies. Defenseless and unable to retaliate, they have suffered immense agonies under our domination that most of us have never witnessed or acknowledged.

As thou thyself art a component part of a social system, so let every act of thine be a component part of social life. Whatever act of thine that has no reference, either immediately or remotely, to a social end, this tears asunder thy life, and does not allow it to be one, and it is of the nature of a mutiny, just as when in a popular assembly a man acting by himself stands apart from the general agreement Picture Quote #1

The most important thing is to keep creating and following my inklings as they come into being and acting on them Picture Quote #1

What do I want to do? Acting wise? Well, there’s a western that I want to do. There’s a lot of producing that I want to do, projects that I have stacked up that are in my office that I’d like to get done Picture Quote #1
