There's something fascinating about seeing something you don't like at first but directly know you will love—in time. People are that way, all through life.

Hamlet says 'The rest is silence.' And when you think of the noises of everyday life, you realize how particularly desirable that is. Silence.

I'm extremely profane, unconsciously so, when I see something great for the first time; I don't know why, but beauty and profanity are related to me in the same way.
