“I always knew that there’s a risk in the bohemian lifestyle, and I decided to take it because, whether it’s an illusion or not – I don’t think it is – it helped my concentration, it stopped me [from] being bored, [and] stopped other people being boring, to some extent. It would keep me awake. It would make me want the evening to go on longer, to prolong the conversation, to enhance the moment. If I was asked, would I do it again, the answer is probably yes.”
