Now I write often. I decided that I need to write for myself - I can't really direct other people's material.

Characters for me are born on page one and they die on page 100.

I'm not really often recognized - not really. Or if I am, nobody cares enough to come and tell me that they recognize me.

I look pretty different. Luckily for me, I don't get harassed or anything like that.

Movies that I remember working on, or things that I remember working on, are things that took years of struggle and strife to get them off the ground or get them in front of the public. You don't have that kind of strife or whatever with a television show. It has an automatic platform. You go in, you do your job, and then it goes on air, and that's that.

Pretty much any time in my career where I worked on television it was usually because of some financial woes or something.

Everyone's different. I mean, some people write journals for their characters and stuff, but that was never really my area.
