When I Was A Teenager,

Everybody Counts Or Nobody Counts

How I Work Is That I Write A Story I'd Like To Read. Then You Fly To Paris Or Sydney And The Interviewers Talk About The Greater Significance Of Your Work.

You Can Fall In Love And Make Love Many Times But There Is Only One Bullet With Your Name Etched On The Side. And If You Are Lucky Enough To Be Shot With That Bullet Then The Wound Never Heals.

Any Writer Would Rather Dig Into Character Than Dig Into Fancy Plots.

I'm Not 'mr. No-by-the-book.' I Just Want To Make Sure The Character Is By The Book.
