I'm Not Interested In Stories. Stories Are Interesting But I Don't Think My Head Works That Way.

The Ones That Say They Don’t, Are Lying. Or Are Afraid That Their Work Won’t Be Seen As Being Original, Somehow.

Steal From Anywhere That Resonates With Inspiration Or Fuels Your Imagination. Devour Old Films, New Films, Music, Books, Paintings, Photographs, Poems, Dreams, Random Conversations, Architecture, Bridges, Street Signs, Trees, Clouds, Bodies Of Water, Light And Shadows. Select Only Things To Steal From That Speak Directly To Your Soul. If You Do This, Your Work (and Theft) Will Be Authentic.

To Me, Everything Is Endless Variations On Other Things. Like Waves In The Ocean. They Continue To Turn Over On Each Other, And They're All Slightly Different. I Don't Know If Originality Is Possible. Is It Even Necessary? Because Everything Is Different Than What Came Before, But It's All Branches From The Same Tree. Originality Is Overrated, But What You Do With Things Is Always Different.
