He said a lot of intriguing quotes alongside his traditional enigmatic responses. I especially loved what he said about ideas. Artists generate a score of ideas and explore methods trying to get that idea out in the \"right\" way. But what he said about the idea itself was direct and beautiful: \"As idea is like falling in love, once you fall in love-- that's it. You're married to the idea.\" I was also pleasantly surprised that the idea of cinema came from a painting which he thought appeared to be moving!

The hesitancy struggle was real. It's been in the fridge for two weeks. I don't always like the consistency of seitan itself. In several restaurants, I've had awful \"chewy\" fake chicken feeling like rubber between teeth. Downright awful to digest! Yet Upton's Naturals managed to make seitan not only palatable but flavorful and unique. Seasoned crumbly texture mimics sausage perfectly and depths are three dimensionally satisfying to nose and taste buds. That's why it was a great pairing to steel cut oats, the chewier heartier oatmeal. Almond milk provides creaminess and nooch is the \"cheesy\" counterpart.
