Life Is About Women, Gigs, An' Bein'

It's Extremely Seldom That Anybody Wants Me To Change What I've Written About Them. Generally I Portray Them In A Good Light, If They're Friends

Everybody's Like Everybody Else, And Everybody's Different From Everybody Else.

I Think That The So-called Average Person Often Exhibits A Great Deal Of Heroism In Getting Through An Ordinary Day . . .

I Try And Write The Way Things Happen. I Don't Try And Fulfill People's Wishes

I Always Wanted Praise And I Always Wanted Attention; I Won't Lie To You. I Was A Jazz Critic And That Wasn't Good Enough For Me. I Wanted People To Write About Me, Not Me About Them. So I Thought, What Could I Do? I Can't Sing, I Can't Dance, I Can't Act Or Anything Like That. Ok, I Can Write.
