Experience
|
Nov 07, 2020

Writing screenplays is not my business. I've written half a dozen, and maybe half of those were made. But it was never a satisfying experience. It was just work. You're an employee. You would be told what to do. Studio execs would cross out my dialogue and put in their dialogue.

Myself
|
Nov 07, 2020

I do have fun writing, and a long time ago, I told myself, 'You got to have fun at this, or it'll drive you nuts.'

Money
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think any writer is a fool if he doesn't do it for money. There needs to be some kind of incentive in addition to the project. It all goes together. It's fun to sit there and think of characters and get them into action, then be paid for it.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't have any of the modern electronics at all. I know the Internet would be a distraction. I would see things that interested me and never get back to writing.

Million
|
Nov 07, 2020

There are 500 million people on Facebook, but what are they saying to each other? Not much.

Home
|
Nov 07, 2020

I once saw Dizzy Gillespie at a live show, and it made me want to go home immediately and start writing.

Anything
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't get in a position to be frightened. I don't do anything dangerous, and I always pay my bills.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

To me, a book is a book, an electronic device is not, and love of books was the reason I started writing.

Hate
|
Nov 07, 2020

I can write anywhere. But I don't use a computer, and I could never write on a laptop. I hate the sound of computers; it's too dull, like it's not doing anything for you.

Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

I used to be able to write five pages a day, every day, no problem. Now a good day is five or four pages, and that's from 9:30 A.M. until 6 P.M.

Nov 07, 2020

Writing on the beach is not what it's cracked up to be. The sand blows, and you perspire, and the page gets all blotty and messed up, so I don't do that anymore.

Living
|
Nov 07, 2020

There are cities that get by on their good looks, offer climate and scenery, views of mountains or oceans, rockbound or with palm trees. And there are cities like Detroit that have to work for a living.

Down
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't believe in writer's block or waiting for inspiration. If you're a writer, you sit down and write.
