My pleasure was to copy, not to create.
Imitation is a caricature. Any imitation. Find out for yourself.
I believe really strongly in imitation, actually: I think it's the first place you need to go to if you're going to be able to understand how something works. True mimicry is actually quite difficult.
With success always comes mimicry.
I'm not a mimic.
Duplication never works for anybody.
Mimicking people was something I did already.
It's a question of trying to take down by dictation what's already there. I'm not making something, I'm trying to hear it.
