If I Do Three Interviews In A Day, I Can Be Exhausted, Because The Process Of Hearing Everyone Requires That I Empty Out Myself. While I'm Listening, My Own Judgments And Prejudices Certainly Come Up. But I Know I Won't Get Anything Unless I Get Those Things Out Of The Way.

They Say That Art Should Stand The Test Of Time. Life Lasts A Limited Amount Of Time. Mountains And Trees And Earth Will Outlive Human Beings, But We Don't Know If They Will Be Here Always.
