“Looking back on those years reminds me, for one thing, that I had a crush on Mr. Ford before it became a trend… I was 19 and he was 34. I kept a journal chronicling my crush, as well as crushes past. Just a taste: ‘I’ve got to stop getting obsessed with human beings and fall in love with a chair. Chairs have everything human beings have to offer, and less, which is obviously what I need.”
