Every Reiteration Of The Idea That Nothing

The Basis Of Drama Is... The Struggle Of The Hero Towards A Specific Goal At The End Of Which He Realises That What Kept Him From It Was, In The Lesser Drama, Civilisation And, In The Great Drama, The Discovery Of Something That He Did Not Set Out To Discover But Which Can Be Seen Retrospectively As Inevitable.

The Realization That I Came To Is That Each Citizen For Himself Or Herself Understands The Economics, Which Is, "i Better Make More Than I Spend And I Better Put Something Aside For A Rainy Day, And I Want To Get A Good Idea About What To Do With The Surplus So That Perhaps It Can Grow While I'm Sleeping." And That That's Capitalism. Everybody Practices It, But Half Of The Country - Those On The Left - Deny That It's True.

Always Tell The Truth - It's The Easiest Thing To Remember.

When I Started Out I Was A Failed Actor.

A Good Writer Gets Better Only By Learning To Cut, To Remove The Ornamental, The Descriptive, The Narrative, And Especially The Deeply Felt And Meaningful. What Remains? The Story Remains.
