I've lived in New York for 40 years. I came right after college.

Read. Read. Read. Just don't read one type of book. Read different books by various authors so that you develop different styles.

Well, when I was 13, for my bar mitzvah I received my first typewriter. And that was special.

I started writing when I was 9 years old. I was like this weird kid who would just stay in my room, typing little funny magazines and drawing comic strips.

I should be concentrating on writing pages.

A real New Yorker likes the sound of a garbage truck in the morning.

I'm obsessed with radio. It's a good start to Sunday morning.
