I can walk down the street all day and people look at me, but they don't talk to me or stop me.
Back 20 years ago, I was recording with Bruce Springsteen, and his producer called me and said I had to be in the studio the next day to finish the sessions, and I couldn't. I had to be in court, in California. All this took like 10 years out of my life.
No one has their own identity like the Ronettes did back in the day.
Because publishing is becoming more business-oriented each day with more examination of the bottom line, it's harder to break out than ever.
I write 2,000 words a day when I write. It sometimes takes three hours, it sometimes takes five hours.
The next day I was in my school's production of All My Sons. This was the performance where I realized something was happening between me and the audience that I hadn't recognized before.
For me, coming to work every day has turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be.

Blue Movie was based on an idea that Stanley Kubrick had. Somebody came by one day with some porn footage.
I said to myself I've got to go up there and do it because the New York Mets keep winning every day. The game was on the line and I wanted to go out there and come through for my team. That win tonight means a lot for us.
I can't do it every day. They're not going to give me much to hit right now. They're pitching me real well. If I get there, fine.
I don't know what would have been worse: If Mira had come home one day to say she was gay or an actress.
Proposition 19 already is a winner no matter what happens on election day. The mere fact of its being on the ballot has elevated and legitimized public discourse about marijuana and marijuana policy in ways I could not have imagined a year ago.
Any time you get two people in a room who disagree about anything, the time of day, there is a scene to be written. That's what I look for.
It's populated by people who, by and large, have terrific communication skills. Every day is an extraordinary day. For me, it was just a great area for storytelling.
