Schreiben wurde zu einer zwanghaften Gewohnheit, aber ich hatte fast kein Geld. Deshalb dachte ich darüber nach, ein städtischer Feuerwehrmann zu sein und viel Freizeit zu haben, um zu schreiben oder Englischlehrer zu werden, und täglich über Bücher und Schriftsteller nachdenken. Das hat mich beeinflusst.

It was the worst thing that ever happened in my life. That really messed me up.

Earlier I had been in New York, which was my first time to New York, and I got booked in the Baby Grand up in Harlem there. I was booked there for a week; they kept me there for about a month. That's where Doc Pomus and myself became very close friends and start running together around town and what not.

People ask me if I ever thought of writing a children's book. I say, 'If I had a serious brain injury I might well write a children's book', but otherwise the idea of being conscious of who you're directing the story to is anathema to me, because, in my view, fiction is freedom and any restraints on that are intolerable.
