There are two MFA programs here at the University of Texas, and I read on the jury of both of them. And it's amazing to me how many really talented young writers seem to fear humor.
Normally, young writers have all the time in the world and they don't always use it well.
You know, this whole thing about Ricky Martin, and how successful that young man is. He's 27, I was 29.
It's a bit of a crapshoot out there with young writers right now anyway.
I think it must be very hard to be one of the new young writers who are urged to put themselves forward when it may be the last thing on earth they'd be good at.
If you think about becoming a writer, that's just really one of the big dreams I had. It's really important to have those dreams and pursue your passions.
Any musician who can stop may be a musician, but they're no artist. If it's in your blood, it can't stop flowing.
Our attitude is that we want to cross over. You can't go on making records just for your own hometown.
I have an amazing team; I have amazing producers; I have amazing writers, but at the end of it, it's me making the decisions on the writing, the tone, the editing.
