Always be reading. Go to the library. Get lost in the stacks. Read bibliographies. It’s not the book you start with, it’s the book that leads you to. Collect books, even if you don’t plan on reading them right away. Filmmaker John Waters has said, ‘Nothing is more important than an unread library.’ Don’t worry about doing research. Just search.

Actually, John Waters said “Nothing is more impotent than an unread library.” Or, he wrote it, in Role Models. So.

I thought that sounded weird! Good old John Waters. ‘member when he was hitchhiking and that band picked him up?! Personal hero status.
