I don't have any system. I dictate a lot, through a machine, and I also have a secretary. But I used to type just like everybody else.

There is nothing in the dark that isn't there when the lights are on.

I'm an affluent screenwriter and all that - I'm a known screenwriter, but I'm not in the fraternity of the very, very major people. I would say a guy like Ernie Lehman, William Goldman, and a few others are quite a cut above.

a basic “must” for every writer: A simple solitude-physical & mental.

I would guess that Ray Bradbury would be equally resentful of what they did with Illustrated Man, which, you know, took a central idea thesis of his and pissed all over it - made it into one of the worst movies ever made.

I don't know what my friends do. Generally they become producers. That way they can stop writing!

Infinitely more taboos, on television.
