A writer's main tool is his memory - his own memory, the collective memory of his people. And the strongest memory is the one that is created by a wound to the heart.
I considered that I had to write stories about the people I had met, with whom I'd worked, the history of my books - just in case I up and die.
The comforts come from my movie and television writing. It is unusual to live this well simply from books.
