"I got fascinated by silence; by what happens to the human spirit, to
identity and personality when the talking stops, when you press the off
button, when you venture out into that enormous emptiness. I was
interested in silence as a lost cultural phenomenon, as a thing of
beauty and as a space that had been explored and used over and over
again by different individuals, for different reasons and with wildly
differing results. I began to use my own life as a sort of laboratory to
test some ideas and to find out what it felt like. Almost to my
surprise, I found I loved silence. It suited me."
