You keep waiting for the moral of your life to become obvious, but it never does. Work, work, work: No moral. No plot. No eureka! Just production schedules and days. You might as well be living inside a photocopier. Your lives are all they're ever going to be.

Once you put bacon into a salad it's no longer a salad, it just becomes a game of find the bacon in the lettuce. It's like you're panning for gold, hmmmmm, EUREKA!

However, the mind has an amazing ability to continue worrying away at a problem all on its own, so that when the Eureka! comes it is as mysterious as if it were God speaking.

There's nothing like the eureka moment of knocking off a song that didn't exist before - I won't compare it to sex, but it lasts longer.

People think of these eureka moments and my feeling is that they tend to be little things, a little realisation and then a little realisation built on that.
