Summary

This quote questions the source or authority behind the rules that establish order. It acknowledges that simple rules can create the illusion of order, which is uncontested. However, it raises the critical inquiry of who is responsible for writing these rules. Implicitly, there exists a deeper skepticism towards blindly accepting rules without questioning their origins or the motivations behind their creation. It encourages a thoughtful analysis of the underlying principles and intents driving the establishment of rules, rather than merely accepting order at face value.

Think of something useless, and that's probably what I'll be doing. Listen, Virginia, we need to love the useless. We need to raise pigeons without a thought of eating them, plant rose bushes without expecting to pick roses, write without aiming at publication. We need to do things without expecting benefits in return. The shortest distance between two points may be a straight line, but it's in the curving paths that the best things are found. . . . We must love the useless, because there is beauty in uselessness.

As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it's because I've played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting.
