Rupert, you and I talked some years back-- at least 10, maybe as many as 15. As a fairly analytical person who trained aikido as a martial art, I found you to be one of the few respectable characters one comes upon in this hobby that fosters so much ... whatever. For that reason, I read your book, just finished.
Very insightful, and as refreshing to read as it was to read the things you were saying before. With respect: well done.
There are easily a dozen points that I could pluck and ponder from there, but two seem most salient right now: in all your years, on less than one hand can you count the number of artists who could do "it," and you've got to take responsibility for your art. If that's not gospel, I don't know what is.

Always the man in whom thought thrusts ahead of thought, allows the goal to move far off.
