![Because I don't do stand-up, radio has always been my equivalent, a place to stay in connection with the public and force myself to write every week and come up with new characters. Plus it's a medium that – having grown up with it and putting myself to sleep with a radio under my pillow [as a kid] – I love. No matter what picture you want to create in the listener's mind, a few minutes of work gets it done.](/assets/img/quote-photos/because-i-dont-do-stand-up-radio-has-always-been-my-equivalent-a-place-to-stay.jpg)

writing fiction half
No one can write a best-seller by taking thought. The slightest touch of insincerity blurs its appeal.

That comes of blended sincerity and vitality.
writing thinking hands
I have never been able to write with anything more than the left hand of my mind; the right hand has always been engaged in something to do with personal relationships. I don't complain, because I think my left hand's power, as much as it has, is due to its knowledge of what my right hand is doing.
