Writing requires the concentration of the writer, demands that nothing else be done except that.
I can write for any magazine now, in any voice. I can do it in two hours, I could do it in my sleep, it's like writing a grocery list.
I can see myself always writing songs - but I'm not sure if I'll always want to perform.
I don't like giving names to generations. It's like trying to read the song title on a record that's spinning.
I've been writing joke songs since I was a kid and it served me well at S.N.L. I can write those in my sleep. In fact, I have.
What I do say is that I can write verse, and that the writing of verse in strict form is the best possible training for writing good prose.
Seventy percent of what I write, I throw out. I can write very easily, but writing original things is the hard bit.
I just use my muscles as a conversation piece, like someone walking a cheetah down 42nd Street.
I think it's doing very well. I'm pleased to see the concentration on semiconductors. I think this will help.
