from “Is 5″
At least my theory of technique,if I have one,is very far from original;nor is it complicated. I can express it in fifteen words,by quoting The Eternal Question And Immortal Answer of bulesk,viz. “Would you hit a woman with a child?– No,I’d hit her with a brick.” Like the burlesk comedian,I am anormally fond of that precision which creates movement.
