I'm more influenced by my own interests than anyone else's. Writers have to entertain themselves, or they can't entertain anyone else.
It is always the best policy to speak the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.
We have people working for us full-time because they were forced to retire at 65. I know that I never want to stop working, and I am glad that I can offer positions to others who feel the same way.
