This Isn't Champagne Anymore. We Went Through

Farm Country -- You Know, Hay, Horses, Cattle. It's The Ideal Situation For Me. I Like The Physical Endeavors That Go With The Farm -- Cutting Hay, Cleaning Out Stalls, Or Building A Barn. You Go Do That And Then Come Back To The Writing.

This Isn't Champagne Anymore. We Went Through The Champagne A Long Time Ago. This Is Serious Stuff. The Days Of Champagne Are Long Gone.

After The Falling Out With My Father, I Worked On A Couple Of Ranches - Thoroughbred Layup Farms, Actually - Out Toward Chino, California. That Was Fine For A Little While, But I Wanted To Get Out Completely, And Twenty Miles Away Wasnt Far Enough.

I Got To New York When I Was Eighteen. I Was Knocking Around, Trying To Be An Actor, Writer, Musician, Whatever Happened.

The Funny Thing About Having All This So-called Success Is That Behind It Is A Certain Horrible Emptiness.
