“I love metaphor and think a good one – a true metaphor, rather than just an analogy or a simile – is the most useful description you can have. In clamping together two components which have no right to share space, you create a third: that’s your new perception. Suddenly it’s all over your work, your life. You can’t be the same again. That’s how it is for me, anyway.”
