Although I like the work I've done in the past, I like what I'm writing now even more.

When I was a teenager, I got into SF, quite heavily, and that too has had a major impact on my writing.

I've been writing full-time since 1978.

At the end of the day, I'm writing in a genre that isn't highly regarded.

I've come to find more satisfaction and enjoyment in writing screenplays over the years because that's what I do primarily now.

Certainly a decade and a half out in the real world, bashing my head against things, probably made me into a more textured writer. It gives you something to write about.

I wrote a lot when I was younger, though never anything like plays or scripts.

From activist stage, I just spoke and said whatever I had to say. When the writing started, I would just read it. Then I had the interest into going into musical aspects. When that happened in '86, I liked the result of work we did in the studio.

The older I get, the more I seek to use a plain prose style, concentrating more on story.

One tends to overlook the fact that all during the 30's and actually during the late 40's I was a highly successful writer and a great many properties accumulated during that period of time.
