Improvisation

I discover quickly that the biggest improv obstacle for me is that I always come to the scene with a fully formed story in my mind and stubbornly refuse to deviate from it... I like knowing what to expect, even for the simplest of things... I like to have a sense of what’s going to happen next – and improv consistently pulls the rug out from under me.

Voluntary actions

... are voluntary not because they descend from an immaterial soul, nor because they ascend from a quantum soup. They are voluntary because they express what I, as a person, want to do, even though I cannot choose these wants. As nineteenth-century philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer put it, ‘Man can do what he wills, but he cannot will what he wills.’

Her fine black eyes were never still and this was the most noticeable thing about her; for when she was talking to you it was disconcerting to see those eyes in that impassive, unlined and yellow face. They moved from one part of you to another, to other persons in the room, and then back to you; you felt that she was criticising you, summing you up, watchful meanwhile of all that went on around her, and that the words she spoke had no connection with her thoughts.

A sense of contact

I wonder at certain painters I have heard about, but never met, who are content to paint for themselves, not caring if they ever have a show, much less sell a picture. This requires self-sufficiency indeed. All pleasure for them apparently comes from perfecting their work before their own eyes, for themselves alone. This seems strange, as long as there are people around them, and perhaps some of them do have a select group of friends to whom they like to show their work. But such an attitude is not impossible to imagine. I think the majority of writers, living a Robinson Crusoe existence with no hope of seeing another human being as long as they lived, would still write poems, short stories and books with whatever material there was at hand. Writing is a way of organizing experience and life itself, and the need of this is still present though an audience may not be. However, I think most painters and writers like to think of their work being seen and read by lots of people, and emotionally this sense of contact is of great importance to their morale.
