“A sunflower seed and a solar system are the same thing;
they both are whole systems.
I find it easier to pay attention
to the complexities of the smaller
than to pay attention
to the complexities of the larger.
That, as much as anything,
is why I’m a craftsman.
It’s a small discipline,
but you can put an awful lot into it.”

“A small bowl arrived:
Ah, polenta with olive oil, I thought.
See, this food isn’t that out there.
But as soon as the spoon entered my mouth
an explosion of yellow corn flavor burst,
and then all the texture associated with polenta vanished.
I calmly laid my spoon down
on the edge of the bowl
after one bite
– astonished.
What the hell is going on back there, I thought.
I know cooking, but this is the stuff of magic.”

“I just sort of
let it be known
that I was available,
in a way
like I’m saying it to you.
I mean,
I didn’t put out any ads or anything,
but word got around.
And you could be,
let’s say,
up at UCLA,
and you’d say,
“Well, let’s take advantage of that.
We’ll have him come up and talk to the students.”
And that’s what I’d do.
Or,
“We’ll have him come up and do a piece on the patio.”
And I would just come up and do that.”
“There’s an important distinction to be made here,”
[Irwin] continued,
“between organizing and proselytizing, on the one hand,
and responding to interest, on the other.
I was and continue to be available in response.
I mean, I don’t stand on a corner and hand out leaflets.
I’m not an evangelist.
I’m not trying to sell anything.
But on the other hand,
if you ask me a question,
you’re going to get a half-hour answer.”
