I'm touched by Jon Hendricks. I want some of my music to reflect that. And when I write, you're going to hear it.
When I write in Hebrew, I don't look for sophistication in music; it's just pure emotion that comes out.
The space where I write is in my head, I suppose.
I write because, if I don't, my characters will murder me in my sleep.
I write books back to back, and I work very hard on them.
People write about getting sick, they write about tummy trouble, they write about having to wait for a bus. They write about waiting. They write three pages about how long it took them to get a visa. I'm not interested in the boring parts. Everyone h...

I feel the most alive when I write.

I'm a huge David Lindsay-Abaire fan. If I could write, I would want to write like him.

I think sometimes - not always - I write songs that are accessible.
I write when I'm inspired, and I see to it that I'm inspired at nine o'clock every morning.
I think I write about things that are mysterious to me.
I don't write huge books any more. I used to write 1,000 printed pages, but now I write short books. I did one on Napoleon, 50,000 words - enjoyed doing that. He was a baddie. I did one on Churchill, which was a bestseller in New York, I'm glad to sa...
