I was just so interested in what I was doing that I didn't pay any attention to what people said. I didn't even know they were saying anything.

When you look at these things, you don't have to have a question. They just tell you.

I never had a moment's doubt that I was doing what I wanted to do. I never had a moment's doubt that I was doing what I was meant to do.

It's a matter of having a feeling for the organism, a real feeling for the organism.

I was so interested in what I was doing that I didn't pay any attention to what people said. I didn't even know they were saying anything.

I knew what I was doing, and I knew it was right.

I just knew it was there. I just knew it.

You have to have the time to look. You have to have the time to see.

I was just so fascinated by what I was seeing.

It was just so beautiful.

I just loved it. I just loved doing it.

I was just so absorbed in it.

I was just so happy doing what I was doing.

I never thought about anything else.

It was just so clear to me.

I just saw it.

It was just there.

You have to be able to see it.

I just knew it was right.

It was just so obvious.
