My Best Stories Come Out Of Nowhere,

The First Two Drinks Were Always Wonderfully Liberating. You Think Better. You're Braver, And You'll Say Anything. If You Could Just Hang In There With Two Or Three, It'd Be Beautiful. The Trouble Was I Couldn't.

I'll Tell You Why I Like Writing: It's Just Jumping Into A Pool. I Get Myself Into A Kind Of Trance. I Engage The World, But It's Also Wonderful To Just Escape. I Try To Find The Purities Out Of The Confusion. It's Pretty Old-fashioned, But It's Fun.
