Unfortunately Something Always Has To Go By

Have You Noticed How Nobody Ever Looks Up? Nobody Looks At Chimneys, Or Trees Against The Sky, Or The Tops Of Buildings. Everybody Just Looks Down At The Pavement Or Their Shoes. The Whole World Could Pass Them By And Most People Wouldn't Notice.

Well It's All Right To Cry. It Helps A Great Deal Sometimes.

Because I Come From The Theater, I Use The Images Of The Theater And Of Movies A Great Deal When I Write. I See The Story In My Head. I Have To Break Down The Outline Of A Story First. I Have To Know Where I'm Going. Usually I Have A Good Beginning And A Good Ending, And Then I Think, "now I Have To Find My Way Through It."

I Have Been Called A Nun With A Switchblade Where My Privacy Is Concerned. I Think There's A Point Where One Says, That's For Family, That's For Me.

Can I Give Them What They Think They're Going To Get From Me? That's Always The Big Question.
