In these litigious times, if you're a beginner, it's becoming harder and harder to get your work to the people who might actually be able to hire you.

I think there's something inherently dishonest in trying to go back and mess with the past.

I've never had to work out of the arts. I've always either been a writer or an editor, or something where I've made my living from doing what I love. You can't get any better than that.

I'm a neurotic New York Jew by birth. Creating characters is second nature to me.

I've had editors over the years who couldn't find a clue if it was stapled to their butt.

I became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design.

When someone writes to tell me something I've written made them laugh or cry, I've done my job and done it well. The rest is all semantics.
