If I read the word 'problematize' one more time, I'm going to vomit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I get nervous, I get word vomit.
I'm an obsessive. When I get a problem, a question in my mind, it can take me over.
I had a lot of reading problems growing up.
One of the best temporary cures for pride and affectation is seasickness; a man who wants to vomit never puts on airs.
So my idea of neurotic is spending too much time trying to correct a wrong. When I feel that I'm doing that, then I snap out of it.
My task is becoming more and more delicate, while the difficulties increase constantly.
If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.
A lot of my work has to do with not allowing my characters to have an ego in a way that the stomach doesn't have an ego when it's wanting to throw up. It just does it.
I think there's a great beauty to having problems. That's one of the ways we learn.
If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered.
