"There is no path I follow. I feel as if I'm just drifting along, because although I can progress physically, through my training, mentally and spiritually I don't know what the hell I'm doing. It's like that car sticker: 'Don't follow me, I'm lost'."

Commonly there was musical accompaniment as well: a kind of one-man theater-of-mixed-means.”
