How about the one I already cited, where he's being interviewed and says:

I think desire usually is born out of the contemplation of someone else who is desiring and who designates to you the object he is desiring as desirable.

"usually" is not the same as "always", admittedly. But it's fair to say it means "more than 50% of the time, maybe much more."
