I like people who tell stories. I like storytellers. A lot of my songs are misconceived as being auto-biographical when they're not because I write in the first person.
I liked in television that you do some work, then you perform, then you stop and you have a break because they have to set up lights, and then you do some more work. I really liked the pace of it; it really agreed with me. I enjoyed it.
There are some people who have been reading me for years, and they keep saying kind things about the writing. That's what you're writing for, to get people to respond to it.
There are some great women's roles in television... so much more interesting than what I was reading in film scripts.
I've been on sets where things weren't relaxed because someone was creating tension for no reason.
The reason people don't take Christianity very seriously anymore is because all people do is put it on their business cards and blab to get on television.
Nursery rhymes were political when they were first written! To me, that's what it's about: it's about using it to say something more than just what the story is.
I abandoned my second novel completely. Writing 'Kavalier & Clay,' I had several moments of utter collapse. Same with 'The Yiddish Policemen's Union.'
I speak Mandarin and can read and write a little. I took a few classes at Harvard to get better in my reading and writing skills.
