There Are A Lot I'm Proud Of,

People Are Put Down In Television Now, Not Because They're Not Qualitative, Not Because They're Not Talented - But Because There's No Room For Them, And Worse Than That, There's Nowhere They Can Find Exposure. Their Own Good Talent May Die Of Mourning, Just For Want Of Having Somebody Read What They've Written. I Don't Presume To Say How We Can Best Provide Platforms For New Writers To Get Read. I Don't Know. But Therein Lies The Major Problem.

I'm An Affluent Screenwriter And All That - I'm A Known Screenwriter, But I'm Not In The Fraternity Of The Very, Very Major People. I Would Say A Guy Like Ernie Lehman, William Goldman, And A Few Others Are Quite A Cut Above.

I Would Guess That Ray Bradbury Would Be Equally Resentful Of What They Did With Illustrated Man, Which, You Know, Took A Central Idea Thesis Of His And Pissed All Over It - Made It Into One Of The Worst Movies Ever Made.

For The Record, Prejudices Can Kill, And Suspicion Can Destroy, And A Thoughtless Frightened Search For A Scapegoat Has A Fallout All Its Own For The Children, And The Children Yet Unborn. And The Pity Of It Is That These Things Cannot Be Confined To The Twilight Zone.

I Don't Think It's Man's Function To Write. I Don't Think It's A Normal Thing Like Teeth-brushing And Going To The Bathroom. It's A Supered Position On The Animal.
