'There’re a lot of things to be learned from looking at this
map. One, this was the person that
I grew up with. And when I talk about not having to know anything I’m really
talking about the relationship that I had with her, which was based completely,
completely on love and faith, and had nothing to do with performance or
achieving anything or learning anything. It was the complete essence of the
person you are, it’s what it’s about. So to grow up with somebody like that and
also somebody who didn’t... you know... was crazy, was a wonderful wonderful thing,
and so I’m continually grateful to have been with the woman who was so out of
every loop.'
