"What I want is to live of that initial and primordial something that was what made some things reach the point of aspiring to be human."

When a book is in its final stages, I've just got to be home, looking at it seventeen hours a day, and that's fine. But all that initial creation of the early drafts, I'd just as soon write it on the road in any extreme place. That's sort of ideal.
