Because at Yale, each year I was writing a play in a different style. Not that they demanded that, but I was searching as any young artist would be.

So I decided to start writing plays, and went to Yale.

What really happened was one day I decided to write a new kind of play.

To Oliver Goldsmith, A Poet, Naturalist, and Historian, who left scarcely any style of writing untouched, and touched none that he did not adorn.

I think that the style is the writing, a beautiful sense of style. And if you don't have it, it doesn't matter what you write, it doesn't really make any difference. I'm not speaking of realistic novels now, but of the pseudo-poetic novel or short story.

I write lustily and humorously. It isn't calculated; it's the way I think. I've invented a writing style that expresses who I am.
