"I have noticed that when all the lights are on people tend to talk about what they are doing - their outer lives. Sitting round in candlelight or firelight people start to talk about how they are feeling - their inner lives. They speak subjectively, they argue less, there are longer pauses. To sit alone without any electric light is curiously creative. I have my best ideas at dawn or at nightfall, but not if I switch on the lights - then I start thinking about projects, deadlines, demands, and the shadows and shapes of the house become objects, not suggestions, things that I need to get done, not a background to thought."
