It's better to hang out with the sages, the people open to possibilities, even the psychotics. You never know where you'll find the geniuses of our society.

I'm naturally quite conformist, really. If I go to a country and they say, You've got to drive on the right, I'm not going to drive on the left to show that I'm different. I'm able to stick to the law.

In the traditional urban novel, there is only survival or not. The suburban idea, the conformist idea, that agony can be seen to and cured by doctors or psychoanalysis or self-knowledge is nowhere to be found in the city. Talking is a way of life, but it is not a cure. Same with religion.
