Summary

This quote is a metaphorical comparison between a movie camera and having a crush. It suggests that when a camera rolls, it is capturing every moment, just as someone you have a crush on might observe you from a distance. The quote implies that in both situations, one tries to ignore the camera or the crush, pretending they are not present. It highlights the idea that even though there may be a lens capturing our actions, sometimes we choose to be oblivious to its presence.

I think I succeeded as a writer because I did not come out of an English department. I used to write in the chemistry department. And I wrote some good stuff. If I had been in the English department, the prof would have looked at my short stories, congratulated me on my talent, and then showed me how Joyce or Hemingway handled the same elements of the short story. The prof would have placed me in competition with the greatest writers of all time, and that would have ended my writing career.
