I Was Twenty-nine Years Old And I

Writing Has Got To Be An Act Of Discovery....i Write To Find Out What I'm Thinking About.

Well, When I Was Six Years Old I Decided, Not That I Was Going To Be, But With My Usual Modesty, That I Was A Writer.

I Stopped Acting When I Was About Nineteen, Twenty, When I Got Thrown Out Of College. I Did Act For About Ten Years. I Don't Know. I Suspect I'm Still A Reasonably Good Actor, But I Don't Really Know That I Want To Get On The Stage Again ... And Having To Say All Those Boring Words By Me Over And Over Again ... I Don't Know If I Want To Do That. Also, I Like A Certain Amount Of Freedom Of Movement, And If You're Acting, You're Stuck In One Place For A Long Time. Having Said That, I Will Probably Be Onstage Next Fall.

The Arts Are The Only Things That Separate Us From The Other Animals. The Arts Are Not Decorative. ... They Are Essential To Our Comprehension Of Consciousness And Ourselves.
