I can still put down some pretty nasty stuff on paper, which is what I enjoy doing.

Read, read, read, read and then read some more.

Most people write a lot of autobiography, but when I came to write autobiography I discovered that nothing interesting had ever happened to me. So I had to take the situation and invent stories to go with it.

They can put me in a jungle. Still, I can create.

I'm thrilled I can make a living doing something I enjoy.

The heart of the melody can never be put down on paper.
