It’s not lost on me that I’m so busy
recording life, I don’t have time to really live it. I’ve become like one of those people I hate,
the sort who go to the museum and, instead of looking at the magnificent
Brueghel, take a picture of it, reducing it from art to proof. It’s not “Look what Brueghel did, painted
this masterpiece” but “Look what I did,
went to Rotterdam and stood in front of a Brueghel painting!”
