When I have an idea, I turn down the flame, as if it were a little alcohol stove, as low as it will go. Then it explodes and that is my idea.

I love that. Certainly I've long felt that I have various pots sitting on the back of my stove, into which I toss all sorts of ideas and clamp the lids back on. Only when one boils over do I start writing, and hope that all the different things I've put it will turn out to have cooked down together into a stew.
