It seems to limit you; when you're working in an office, you're a creature in a small cell under somebody's supervision and surveillance.

I haven't been to a movie since somebody gave me free tickets to Star Wars, which I went to.

So I'll write it, and then I'll find out that I actually wrote something that is utterly useless. You can't use it in the story and it doesn't fit. So I just throw it away. I've done that countless times.

Then there was Clark Ashton Smith, who wrote for Weird Tales and who had a wild imagination. He wasn't a very talented writer, but his imagination was wonderful.

I haven't sold to the movies. In other words, I haven't gotten any enormous checks yet.

I was an omnivore at reading, so that everything I ever read contributed.

There was a writer in the '20s called Christopher Morley, who I remember a little bit of, who had some influence on me, but I couldn't tell you what it was.

This flattery has been rather slow in coming. I think all of sudden late in life now I'm getting some credit for what I've done. Which is gratifying, but it's kind of a little late.
