Kids think you just sit down and start writing. I always tell them you never do that. ↗

Normally, I spend a week on the outline and take two weeks to write the book. ↗

People always ask, 'How do you write so many books?' And I say, I work a lot. I work six or seven days a week. ↗

So many people in their 20s and 30s, on Twitter, say 'Please write something for us,' so I have to listen to them, they're my audience. ↗

Well, when I was 13, for my bar mitzvah I received my first typewriter. And that was special. ↗

When I write for kids, I have to make sure they know what can't happen. They have to know it's a fantasy. But when I write for adults, they have to think it's real. Every detail has to be real or they won't buy it. ↗

Yoga introduced me to a style of meditation. The only meditation I would have done before would be in the writing of songs. ↗

I write the music, produce it and the band plays within the parameters that I set. ↗

I write plays because writing dialogue is the only respectable way of contradicting yourself. I put a position, rebut it, refute the rebuttal, and rebut the refutation. ↗

I'm so grateful to grab hold of something that wants to be a play. It doesn't happen very often. I don't have unwritten plays waiting for their turn. ↗
