I can't really separate them out. There's foreplay and there's sex, and in a
way they're both the same thing, same process, so to me it's all the same
thing.

I'd find something. If not scripts, then novels; if not novels, then short
stories; if not stories, then articles; if not articles, then songs; if not
songs, then plays...I get nervous when I ain't writing, and one way or another,
