I'm not hip, I'm not cool, I'm not glib.

I write, but I also act.

I'm not a light-hearted person, so I can't think light-hearted at work.

If we all knew we were going to live to be 150 years old, we'd all approach our lives very differently.

I started acting when I was in high school, started writing when I got to New York in 1975.

From my perspective of a guy in his late forties, its becoming more and more clear to me that the right thing to do and the wrong thing to do all depend on what part of life you are looking at it from.

I do write about people who are complex and are striving with something and can't quite get past their own stuff, which would be a proxy for myself because that's what the deal is with me.
