[Hell washed up in New York City in the early 1970s as a 17-year-old runaway from Lexington, Ky., hoping to make his mark as a poet and writer. He wasn't running from anything as much as he was just running.] I always just had this urge to just take off, so at least once a year I would run away from home, just to get out from under any restrictions... That was a big part of my conception of myself, running away.
- Richard Hell
You realize there are certain things that you'll never do that you always thought would be part of your future... It's a big relief to discover what you are best-suited for, and it's a real advantage to be able then to focus. You can just jettison all this useless floundering around, attempting to do stuff that's really not in your range, and focus.
