Now I read constantly. I’m reading lots of different books, but I get inspiration again from those. Nowadays I’m still reading voraciously. Really as an opportunity to learn, to constantly figure out what I really need to know in homes that my reader will have the same desires and the same need.
I have a lot of energy. I have a great desire to absorb information
I’m always on the lookout for those good, simple solutions to everyday problems. And it’s the energy that enables me to run around and do the things that I like to do. I don’t need a lot of sleep. I find that when you have a real interest in life and a curious life, that sleep is not the most important thing. More important is the discovery. And I’m really trying to discover everyday good things.
For me, the most important characteristics for success is a dedication to your real interests. It’s an ability to be open-minded. Without an open-minded mind, you can never be a great success. The great artists have been open-minded, even though they may seem, like Picasso, to be very directed, you can be directed and open-minded at the same time. I think you have to be really intensely serious about your work, but not so serious that you can’t see the lightness that may also involve your life. You have to have that lightness too. You have to not be so heavy-handed and so ostentatious. It’s very important not to be.
