I've been writing for a long time. I sat down to write my first novel in the middle of March of 1982.
“My dad was born in Chicago in 1908... his parents came from Russia. They settled in Chicago, where they lived in a little tiny grocery store with eight or nine children - in the backroom all together - and my grandmother got the idea to go into the movie business.”
“Some people like to paint trees. I like to paint love. I find it more meaningful than painting trees.”
