The first book was my first attempt at writing full-length prose.

I never write a play with an eye to film.

Evan Handler's new book is simply wonderful. He pulls you inside his life, and you come out his very close friend.

Writers feel like a middleman, standing with pen in hand over the page. A force greater than me stands above telling me what to write. That may sound romantic, but that's how it feels.

When its 100 degrees in New York, it's 72 in Los Angeles. When its 30 degrees in New York, in Los Angeles it's still 72. However, there are 6 million interesting people in New York, and only 72 in Los Angeles.

Never underestimate the stimulation of eccentricity.
