I knew that I had to write my memoirs.

And then I wrote my first autobiography when I - well, it was 23 years ago. And since then I've written about one book every two years.

I don't like memoirs. I think they're self-serving, and people use them to settle scores, and I really tried not to do that. You have to have a really interesting life to justify memoir, and my life has been pretty ho-hum.

Most writers can write three times as many books as I have and still live a life.

I had read too many memoirs that were written after the writer or the director was past his or her prime.

I read several books at one time.

I've written many nonfiction books, but that's a special gift.
