I Never Miss L.a. Because

I've Been Able To Write At Least One Book A Year For 20 Years, And I Don't Think I Would've Had That Kind Of Drive If I Hadn't Come Out Of The Journalism Business.

In The Long Run, All Wrongs Are Righted, Every Minus Is Equalized With A Plus, The Columns Are Totaled And The Totals Are Found Correct. But That's In The Long Run. We Must Live In The Short Run And Matters Are Often Unjust There. The Compensating For Us Of The Universe Makes All The Accounts Come Out Even, But They Grind Down The Good As Well As The Wicked In The Process.

The Characters I Write About Are Very Internal.

The Writing Ethic Was Influenced - When You Have To Write Every Day, There's No Such Thing As Writer's Block.

I've Sold 11 Of My Books To Hollywood. There Are All Kinds Of My Books On Shelves In Hollywood Because The Scripts Didn't Capture The Characters.
