I Have A Tendency To Hire People

The Way I Work Is Not The Way That You Work, And The Whole Point Of Any Creative Act Is That. What I Have To Offer Is Me, What You Have To Offer Is You, And If You Offer Yourself With Authenticity And Generosity I Will Be Moved.

I Think You Just Assume That Your Memory Is Just Sort Of A Video Playback Of Your Experience, But It's Nothing Like That At All. It's A Complete Refabrication Of An Event And A Lot Of It Is Made Up, Because You're Filling In Spaces.

My Point Of View Comes More From The Literature I've Read And The Comedy Of The Era. When I Was A Kid, Coming Across National Lampoon Magazine, That Was A Big Thing. I Suddenly Felt Like There Were Other People That Felt The Way I Did, And There Was A Way Of Expressing And Communicating This Worldview.

As I'm Writing, I Start To See Connections, And Themes I Didn't See, And That Sparks Other Things. So Then I Go Back And Rewrite Things Or Alter Them. It's A Combination Of Intuition And A Lot Of Finessing. It Becomes A Combination Of The Rational And The Irrational.

I Know That As A Very Young Child, I Was Afraid Of Death. Many Children Become Aware Of The Notion Of Death Early And It Can Be A Very Troubling Thing. We're All In This Continuum: I'm This Age Now, And If I Live Long Enough I'll Be That Age. I Was 20 Once, I Was 10, I Was 4. People Who Are 20 Now Will Be 50 One Day. They Don't Know That! They Know It In The Abstract, But They Don't Know It. I'd Like Them To Know It, Because I Think It Gives You Compassion.
