I want an ending that's satisfying. I'm more of a classical writer than a modernist one in that I want the ending to be coherent and feel like an ending. I don't like when it just seems to putter out. I mean, life is chaotic enough. ↗

Actors are steeped in a world of agents and where the next job is coming from and what are their expenses and what is the hotel like.

I seem to have been everywhere in the last 30 years, maybe not in the epicenter but flying around the periphery of extraordinary events and equally extraordinary people. ↗

I'm not really a political animal but I am rather fascinated by the meltdown of England and America. In the end, it seems as if America might come out of it, but I'm not sure if England is ever going to recover. ↗

It seems important to find ways of reminding ourselves that most "familiarity" is meditated and delusive. ↗
