I use it when I need it. In other words, that would be the simplest way for me to explain, I need it. If I need that particular shape, whatever I'm doing, that's it. That is it. But there's nothing mysterious or difficult or something that you can't explain or you don't need to explain. It's a shape and this is what I need at this moment, so by the time you have all the experience and you have all the exposure to the world of art and the world of theatre, the world of dance, you… you get a hold of something that is part of you and you can always reach into that bag and take something out. And also, you do have books, you know? You buy certain kind of books. And sometimes you just need to go through and just look at things, you know, when you're stuck. And when you're stuck, then stop it, don't do anything, just put the pens down, put the brush down and forget it. And give yourself a couple of weeks. You come back and all of a sudden it's there, it's there.
