“I’m in my element when I am a little bit out of this world: then I’m in the real world — I’m on the beam. Because when I’m falling, I’m doing all right; when I’m slipping, I say, “Hey, this is interesting!” It’s when I’m standing upright that bothers me: I’m not doing so good; I’m stiff. As a matter of fact, I’m really slipping most of the time, into that glimpse. I’m like a slipping glimpser.”
