I Learn Things Late-and Only The Hard

The Novel Is Final Form; It's The Ultimate Individual Final Form. Television And Motion Pictures Never Get There. You'd Be Fabulous To Think That Something You Write Is Even Going To Be Filmed. I Give It The Best Shot Of Which I'm Capable. But It's More A Payday For Me. And If I Didn't Have Alimony And The Full-time Assistant.

As A Kid, I Sensed History Going On All Around Me, But The Basic Thrust Of It Didn't Move Me.

How Did I Change My Life? I Wanted Things. I Wanted Women And I Wanted To Write Books.
