I worked for half a cent a word. I'm not a fast writer to begin with, so for the first few years I had do other things.
I don't want to have that thing where I make an album and then I'm super-constantly present in everyone's life for three years, and then gone for the next three.
Because of what I did when I was 10 years old, I'm not living from paycheck to paycheck, and I can do things because I want to do them.
For me, the glory of my first 25 years as a writer was I could put things off as long as I wanted.

We didn't invent gunpowder. What we did was take things that were there and put them together in a way that works.
I want to get back and do the things that I loved to do, which were my triples. And I know I could do them.
To me the thing with 'Grease' was that it was the first movie that as a kid I wanted to get up and do what they were doing.
