By the time I wrote 'Any Given Sunday' or 'Bats,' I sort of knew what my job was in terms of what a writer of dialogue does.
I don't think I would do better books if I wrote full time. I write for amateurish reasons.
I was actually a poetry major in college before I punted and decided to become a theater major. I wrote the poem that we put on the sauerkraut boxes in the style of Elling.
Most people can't tell now who wrote what. I like that blurring of identities within the band. because it becomes a unified thing that can't be related to other forms of historical poetry.
I'm not embarrassed about the novels I wrote when I was younger, but I couldn't write them today because of my religion.
I wrote the song For A Dancer for a friend of mine who died in a fire. He was in the sauna in a house that burned down, so he had no idea anything was going on. It was very sad.
When I wrote songs like 'Everyone I Love is Dead,' I never thought about how I was going to execute them live.
I was a total music nerd. I grew up on Perry Street in the '80s. My father wrote books about jazz, so I was always at the 'Village Vanguard.'

We have never heard the devil's side of the story, God wrote all the book.
My mother says I was writing before I was crawling. I wrote in the dirt with a twig.
The reason I wrote political satire was because I thought it - politics - was important... that public policy was important. Then I transitioned into books, then into radio.
I could write songs about politics, but I'm conscious of not writing songs that sound the same as the ones I wrote 30 years ago.
You wrote my thoughts For all the world to see Painted the sky With immortal words
No one trusts a model except the man who wrote it; everyone trusts an observation, except the man who made it.

'Miss Saigon' taught me what it means to help carry a big show, and it had some of the most gorgeous songs wrote.
It's better for me to go up against someone's passion with my passion and then clarifying something that he wrote. Then I know how to work around certain things.
