Money is something I understand only vaguely, and I think about it only when I don't have enough to finance my current enthusiasm, whatever it may be. All I know about money is that I have to have it to do things. I don't want to bank my dividends, I'd rather keep my money working.... Money - or, rather the lack of it to carry out my ideas - may worry me, but it does not excite me. Ideas excite me.
