We have gone through some difficult times like everyone else and perhaps our working together and respecting each other's abilities, in addition to that little thing called love, helped us survive.
We wrote what sounded good to us and hoped it would find a home.
You just have to believe in yourself when you've got something, and just keep pounding on the door, because if you pound long enough, somebody is going to open it.
You made a lot of mistakes, and you wrote a lot of crap. But it was all part of the learning process.
There is the great creative part of it. The writing is the best part.
