I have been drawing all my life.
I've often been accused of making anthropology into literature, but anthropology is also field research. Writing is central to it.

If we wanted home truths, we should have stayed at home.
I don't have the notion that everybody has to write in some single academic style

I didn't get excited by weight loss, and since I was already happy being fat, I couldn't see the point of it all. I'm 6 ft. and weigh about 18 st. or 19 st. , but weighing myself is not something I do with much pleasure.
I think everyone at some point comes up against a wall. Curiously, though, if you continue working, you might readdress that idea from another direction. If you didn't try something, you'd never have anything; if you didn't make an attempt to make the work, it wouldn't exist. There have been times when I could not work, and I would just go and sit down in the studio and wait to see what might happen. You can't always just go and take an exotic trip and come back and make something.
I don't believe he had a responsibility to even answer that question - you have no responsibility to answer personal questions that people have no right to ask you.
