Hit that ball as hard as you wanted, wherever you wanted, and it went in.
I suffer much less than many of my colleagues. I am perfectly able to go to Australia and film within three hours of arrival.

I don't have any writing routine. Sometimes I go to my local coffee shop and I write there for some hours. Apart from that, I am traveling most of the time. I write in airports, trains, hotel rooms... I can write anywhere.
Still, something about writing made me spend large hours of my free time at my desk.

For all these media, the script length is agnostic to the final work.

When you're with another actor who's also been through five hours of prosthetic makeup, and you're eating another person's neck, and fake blood is being spurted out at you for two minutes, it's incredibly fun, and you're in character for that time. You can't really believe that that's your job.
Six hours a day I lived under school discipline in active intercourse with people none of whom were known to those at home, and the other hours of the twenty-four I spent at home, or with relatives of the people at home, none of whom were known to anybody at school.
