Lust fades, so you’d better be with someone who can stand you.

I am not an actor. Yes, every so often I appear on talk shows to promote something I've written, and I enjoy doing so because I have a lot of stories to tell, and I like making audiences laugh. But that's not acting. That's just me being me.

I haven't written a brochure yet. It's killing me. I know I have a brochure or pamphlet in me yet.

I've had a bris, was Bar Mitzvahed and, on occasion, have referred to a temple as a shul. I've never denied it, nor have I disguised it. I am, indeed, a Jew.

It's an intangible thing, this thing we call talent, especially if we're in a position to teach and mentor others.

I've been very lucky. I've written for most of my idols and the contemporaries.

I've been writing for people long enough to know that it has got to feel comfortable coming out of their mouths, especially when you're doing something that is first person and is so near and dear to you.

Writers are born, not made. We can hone the craft. We need to try to encourage someone and make a dialogue, suggesting ways to do something differently or how to improve.

Lust fades, so you'd better be with someone who can stand you.

Writers are lucky. Whatever the mood, no matter the longing, the writer can use his words to connect himself to any world he wishes to visit.
