My mind seems to have become a kind of machine for grinding general laws out of large collections of facts.

I tend to over-analyse things. I'm not the type of person to flip a coin and let things happen.

Part of the way that I work is to observe.

I'm very much an observer and a conduit of thoughts and ideas.

I see myself as a scientist who is interested in what's going on inside of us.

I'm a fan of retracing the facts and absorbing my atmosphere and being influenced by it.

The interpretation of facts in a certain way stimulates other scientists' thoughts.

One finds the truth by making a hypothesis and comparing observations with the hypothesis.

I've become increasingly confidant in following intuitions ahead of thoughts as I produce more records.

So in the first draft, I'm inventing people and place with a broad schematic idea of what's going to happen. In the process, of course, I discover all sorts of bigger and more substantial things.
