On "the words that come direct from the people"
“The words that come direct from the people are the greatest, they’re the greatest....Those are the words that I wrote down in my notebook 25 years ago often with great excitement holding on to them…just hoping I could hold on to them until I got back to the car because if you substitute one out of your own vocabulary, it disappears before your eyes.”
