    Language is way more than just a way of putting across an idea. In a way the language itself is possibly more important than the idea. Or there are only a certain number of ideas, but they can be said in a variety of different ways; it’s how you say them that’s more important than what you’re saying.

    I always wear a suit, Warren always wears a suit. Jim, he does. I always wanted to wear a suit as far back as I can remember, before anything; I used to look at the blues guys in their suits and think they looked really cool.

    I don’t feel I wear a suit in a dandyish way. I wear it as a worker. Someone who prepares themselves for the job, you know. It’s always been like that.

    His people keep telling me what a great time it is to interview him. Why? He’s so happy. He’s so open. He’s so well. He’s in love.

    He is wearing a skimpy V-neck sweater and with his eyes closed and his face pointed skywards, he could be a twelve-year-old boy. Since he is, in fact, forty-one, in the looks department at least, he is a disgracefully good advertisement for bad living.

    Being in his company is rather like watching Paris, Texas. Kind of a random experience. But interesting.
