“...good technique includes quick changes, great variety and speed. It may be a system of reversals much like a concept of God and the Devil.

“The ideal is unnatural naturalness, or natural unnaturalness. I mean it is a combination of both.
I mean here is natural instinct and here is control. You are to combine the two in harmony.

Be water, my friend.”
