'[Genesis] is the only person I’ve ever met who I had hero-worshipped, who turned out exactly as I’d expected him to be, and everything I’d hoped him to be. Which was incredible. Inhumanly intelligent. I was interested in him primarily as a character, the way he lived, and he was a ‘more than real’ real life character. A phenomena. I was already into the idea that the most important work is the way you live and you should live life as a work and try to make each aspect of it as interesting as you can.'

William S. Burroughs
