Los Angeles has always been on the table with us.

I feel that I'm leaving Williamstown too early, but I'd rather leave too early than too late.

In next five to 10 years I probably would have done my best work, but I was afraid of having another 10 or 15 years ahead of me and feeling stale, so this was an opportunity to reinvigorate myself.

A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.
