"When you get frustrated you try to do too much, you try to make stuff up that's not there, and you play outside yourself."

Previous Quote

Frustrated? Yes. Why? Because it is impossible for me to be God — or the universal woman-and-man — or anything much. I am what I feel and think and do. I want to express my being as fully as I can because I somewhere picked up the idea that I could justify my being alive that way.
