“When I did 'Bumble-ardy, ' I was so intensely aware of death. Eugene, my friend and partner, was dying here in the house when I did 'Bumble-ardy'. I did 'Bumble-ardy' to save myself. I did not want to die with him. I wanted to live, as any human being does.”

I became a set designer for opera. I'm a great opera buff, I love classical music, and I needed a time-out.
What I do as best I can is out of a deep respect for children, for how difficult their world is.
I want to be alone and work until the day my heads hits the drawing table and I'm dead. Kaput. I feel very much like I want to be with my brother and sister again. They're nowhere. I know they're nowhere and they don't exist, but if nowhere means that's where they are, that's where I want to be.
I've convinced myself - I hope I'm right - that children despair of you if you don't tell them the truth.
