'Sometimes when you no longer see yourself as the hero of your own drama expecting victory after victory and you understand deeply that this is not Paradise - we somehow experience - the privileged ones - we somehow embrace the notion that this vale of tears is perfectible, that you can get it all straight. I found that things became a lot easier when I no longer expected to win. You abandon your masterpiecing and you sing it to the real masterpiece.'
from I'm Your Man, a film by Lian Lunson, 2005
