I'd Rather Go Along With This Sense

Most Shows, Buying Shows, Have A Standard Fee For The First Shot Of The Writer And If You Have A Very Militant Agent, I Suppose He Might Jack It Up Four Percent Or Something. But In Essence, You Sell For What Is The Going Rate.

An Ingmar Bergman Film Would Probably Owe A Sizeable Bulk Of Its Import And Its Direction And Its Quality To The Directorial End And To The Director Because It's Uniquely A Bergman Film. But That Again Is Not The General - No, That's Much More The Exception Than The Rule.

I Choose To Think Of Tv Audience As Nameless, Formless, Faceless People Who Are All Like Me. And Anything That I Write, If I Like It, They'll Like It.

Why Do I Write? I Guess That's Been Asked Of Every Writer. I Don't Know. It Isn't Any Massive Compulsion.

It Has Forever Been Thus: So Long As Men Write What They Think, Then All Of The Other Freedoms - All Of Them - May Remain Intact. And It Is Then That Writing Becomes A Weapon Of Truth, An Article Of Faith, An Act Of Courage.
