If You Want To Prove That God

I Miss The Comraderie Of Live Television - The Fact That You Were On The Set, You Worked Closely With The Director And The Cast, That I Miss. But, No, I'm Happy, I'm Happy Doing Film.

A Basic “must” For Every Writer: A Simple Solitude-physical & Mental.

When I First Went Into Freelancing, I Think There Was A Period Of About Eight Months When Nothing Happened. Everything That I Wrote Crumbled Up, And Then It Became A Self-destructive Thing - When You Begin To Doubt Yourself, When Doubt Turns Into - It's Sort Of Like Impotence. Once Impotent, You're Forever Impotent. Because You're Always Worried About Being Impotent.

It Has Forever Been Thus: So Long As Men Write What They Think, Then All Of The Other Freedoms - All Of Them - May Remain Intact. And It Is Then That Writing Becomes A Weapon Of Truth, An Article Of Faith, An Act Of Courage.

This Is, If Not A Lifetime Process, It's Awfully Close To It. The Writer Broadens, Becomes Deeper, Becomes More Observant, Becomes More Tempered, Becomes Much Wiser Over A Period Time Passing. It Is Not Something That Is Injected Into Him By A Needle. It Is Not Something That Comes On A Wave Of Flashing, Explosive Light One Night And Say, 'huzzah! Eureka! I've Got It!' And Then Proceeds To Write The Great American Novel In Eleven Days. It Doesn't Work That Way. It's A Long, Tedious, Tough, Frustrating Process, But Never, Ever Be Put Aside By The Fact That It's Hard.
