For Whatever Reason, I Have An Emotional

When I Started Writing After My Career As An Actor, I Knew That That Other Life In The Film Industry Would Be Pulled Into My Writing Life And That People Would See Me Not As An Author But As An Actor Starting To Write.

I Get Like Six Or So Hours Of Sleep A Night.

The First Piece Of Art That I Ever Bought - When I Could Afford It - Was A Warhol Sketch From The Period When He Was Just Getting Out Of Doing Commercial Work And More Into Art. It's A Sketch Of A Young Guy's Face. I Guess The Gallery That I Bought It From Thought I Would Like It Because The Young Guy Kind Of Looked Like James Dean.

I Felt, Implicitly, Or Not So Implicitly, That Subjects About Women And Other Races Were Out Of My Jurisdiction As A Creator. That If I Moved Too Far From My Own Experience, And My Own Established Identity, I Would Be Criticized For Taking Even More Of Those Wedding Pies From Others.

I Personally Just Love Movies About The Creative Process.
