I think all kinds of things can qualify as research. Spending time on the street is research. The results are just as good as spending time in a library. But if you write, you have to do something like that. Or your life can be research. The important thing is you have to have something to draw on. Van Gogh and Gauguin used to frequent whore houses. I'd call that research. They called it a "hygienic outing." I have a lot of respect for Gauguin. In fact, I was just in Madagascar for a month. I was trying to do some of the stuff he did. Not oils, but watercolors. Lots and lots of them. I made a lot of progress. Really exciting for me. Madagascar is a really wonderful place. Very friendly people. They would rip you off or kill you if they could, but they're very friendly.
