And for me, the real world involves everything: risk, danger, beauty, energy, all we meet with in the real world.

There are always loose ends in real life.

I don't think there is such a thing as as a real prophet. You can never predict the future. We know why now, of course; chaos theory, which I got very interested in, shows you can never predict the future.

This life is messy.

The world is still a weird place, despite my efforts to make clear and perfect sense of it.

Life is a goddam mess...but you wouldn't want to miss it!
