I regret the passing of the studio system. I was very appreciative of it because I had no talent.
I feel like every time I start up, it's like a truck you have to get into 15th gear, so you very solely crank into that mental space where you feel really immersed in the world of the book and then you can just kind of go. But there's just that few days of frustration to get to that point.
I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.
