In The U.s., Oddly, We Have Images

I'm Half Jewish, Half Scottish. It's Hard For Me To Buy Anything.

For Hundreds Of Years, That Was The Major Form Of Entertainment: The Grown-ups Sat Around And Watched The Kids Play. Now They Sit Around And Watch The Television. The Actors Are The Kids.

I'm Very Proud Of My Scottish Blood.

I'm Inspired As A Writer By Any Place Where I've Lived For A Significant Amount Of Time That Have Memories, My Past, And Stories Attached To Them, And That's Really New York And L.a. Any Place Where There's Ghosts Are Inspiring.

I'm A Big Philip Roth Fan. I Think "american Pastoral" Is The Great American Novel Of The Past 30 To 40 Years. It's A Novel About What Happened In The 1960s, And I Think America Is Still Dealing With What Happened Then. It's Devastatingly Sad.
