Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories made a particular impression on me because of the language, because of the wonderful way in which he tells a story. The rhythm is wonderful, isn't it? I mean, that's what you can do with prose and I loved saying that to myself. Still ran Dingo, yellow dog Dingo, always hungry, grinning like a rat trap, never getting near and never getting farther, ran after Kangaroo. And all that stuff, it's all very deeply in me. If you all think about images, these are the things that you saw and experienced. I guess they all went into that brain and ultimately you find you can draw on them
