Insight :This from a 1998 interview with James Hillman makes sense to me, I feel like that:
Hillman: I’ve been wrestling with these questions for thirty- five years. I sometimes get short-tempered in a public situation because I think, Oh God, I can’t go back over that again. I can’t put that into a two-word answer. I can’t. Wherever I go, people say, ‘Can I ask you a quick question?’ It’s always, ‘a quick question.’ Well, my answers are slow. [Laughs]
