"Basically, what I was, was a young guy who was convinced that the sort of possible lifestyles outlined for me in my society weren't worth living, so I made a conscious decision to use literate means to break out of those forms and those molds, and try to lead what I thought would be a superior life, based on success, not in terms of money..but in terms of immortality, and doing something worthwhile with my immortal soul. That's creativity."
