It takes me time to realize things; I'm a speedy person but a slow thinker.

Slow thinking has the feeling of something you do. It's deliberate.

Sometimes, when things are going really well, I feel like I've already seen things - it's the flashback feeling in a good way. Like I'm watching a rerun, because I've studied this defense and know what comes next. Now, that is a good feeling, when your mind is working fast because you've studied, and you realize, 'I've seen this before.'

Long walks force a certain meditative awareness. You're not moving so fast that you miss the world's details passing by - in fact, you can stop to inspect something that might catch your eye.

Even if I don't want to slow down, I'm slowing down.

Speed is often confused with insight. When I start running earlier than the others, I appear faster.

You realize you're alive while you're alive, and you better notice it then, because later, it's hard to see.

People look at film in a gallery, and if they walk out after two minutes they know they haven't seen the whole work. But then people look at a painting for two minutes and think they've seen it. Certain paintings are made to be consumed fast. But some require a slowed-down time. You have to go back to them.

Something new always slowly changes right in front of your eyes - it just happens.

I speed up past mirrors.
