For years everyone looked toward the demise of radio when television came along. Before that, they thought talking movies might eliminate radio as well. But radio just keeps getting stronger.

When I started to work in Hollywood at a fairly low level delivering scripts around town, listening to AM talk radio, I at first listened to it as a novelty.

I've always been very left of center and the radio never had much diversity and film did.

Honestly, there are so many things about structuring a story for film and telling a story for film that are really different from doing radio.

Radio is a really strange business now, too. There's a very narrow door and a very few people control what gets played.

When 'Play' first came out, journalists didn't review it; it didn't get radio play. And then it became this big successful record and, I hate to admit this, I found myself liking the fame. I bought into it.

I never realized that growing up in Brooklyn, flying jets, working on Wall Street and starring in a sci-fi series was the prerequisite for the fast-paced demands of talk radio. But, if that's what it takes to succeed, I'm glad I did it all.

I did radio back in the era when we did radio drama.

Radio allowed people to act with their hearts and minds.

It was kind of exciting being on the radio. Not everybody was on the radio.
