The creator who is misunderstood because of his breach of convention may say to himself, 'I seem strange to you, but anyway I am alive.

I want to be, if I can, as sure of the world--the real world--around me as is possible. Now, you can only attain that to a certain degree, but I want the greatest degree of control.
