Steve Lankton Interview
Steve Lankton Interviewed by Judy Pearson
Everything is metaphor and in a certain sense everything is a half-truth...People...hold onto certain half-truths and defend them "at all costs' even though they bring pain and limit choice...People are burdened or blessed with...the opportunity to create...Man invents the existence of "time," "space," and "consciousness" and even "existence" itself and then projects his reminders of it onto the situation. He gives it meaning and convinces himself that it is, to some degree, not his creation at all. He is an actor on a stage that he created....There is no way to tell if the person prefers the part(s) that he plays unless he has a choice to change any and every part as easily as possible. And who is to say what is possible and what is not? (Practical Magic, p. 217)
