A Writers Job Is To

I Grew Up When People Seemed Actually To Be Hurting Themselves For Their Art. Of Course, Some Of It Was Phony.

I Always Intended To Be Light And Open. I Misjudged The American Audience.

I Lost My Second Marriage Because Of Drinking, And I Loved The Woman Very Much. But I Thought I Needed Booze To Write. I'm Glad I Was Disabused.

You Need To See A Bit Of Hell Now And Then. That, And Great Joy.

A Writers Job Is To Destroy And Then To Build The Thing Back Up Again By A Chosen Means.
