To be a dramatic writer takes hard work, talent, and discipline. And that's why I just make up crap.

I believe it was Shakespeare who said, 'All the world's a stage, and you are CRAP!'

But you know, we have more hits than you can possibly think about. One of my personal favorite artists is the wonderful artist named Cher. And although I love much of her late stuff, her early stuff was the stuff that I really, really loved.

Every song a hit, every hit a smack!

I think the challenge is going out in front of a paying audience with absolutely nothing and trying to entertain them for two hours. Thankfully, I only think about that right before we go on, and then once we're out there, everything's fine.
