I suppose everyone continues to be interested in the quest for the self, but what you feel when you're older, I think, is that ... you really must make the self.

The last two - distractions and fears - are the dangerous ones. They're the habitual demons that invade the launch of any project.

When I feel that sense of dread, I try to make it as specific as possible.
