A rule to live by: I won't use anything I can't explain in five minutes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Other than the laws of physics, rules have never really worked out for me.
Rule A: Don't. Rule A1: Rule A doesn't exist. Rule A2: Do not discuss the existence or non-existence of Rules A, A1 or A2.
I'm not trying to follow a set of rules and stuff. I'm just living my life.
I have rules for everything.
When people don't understand my work, I don't feel like explaining.
Use, don't abuse.
I use my intuition. I tell my students: use your brains, but also use another part of yourself.
Write what you like; there is no other rule.
You just go for it and see what works. There are no rules.
No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
