As I have no habits that require maintaining—I don’t even have a favorite menu—the only way for me to live was always to be as close to other people as life allowed. Not much else stimulates me. I have no other passions, no other joys, no other obsessions. The only moment when I feel truly alive is when, in a relationship with other people, I discover how much in common we all share with each other. — Jerzy Kosinski in an interview with Psychology Today (1977) November 06, 2013
