“From a very early age, perhaps the age of five or six, I knew that when I grew up I should be a writer. Between the ages of about seventeen and twenty-four I tried to abandon this idea, but I did so with the consciousness that I was outraging my true nature and that sooner or later I should have to settle down and write books.” ShouldWritingBookIdeasAgeConsciousnessFiveFourGrewSixGrew UpShould HaveTwentiesDown AndSettlingAbandonSooner Or LaterTrue NatureSeventeenSettling Down Book:A Collection of Essays Source: A Collection of Essays

“I'm sort of an 'automatic' writer. I'm not much for chiseling away at songs or working at them for days trying to make them perfect. If I can sit down and write something in five minutes, then that's great. And if that doesn't happen, then either it doesn't get finished or else it's usually not any good.” IfsWritingTryingI CanHappensSongPerfectFiveMinutesDown AndFinishedFive Minutes Author:Leon Russell
“I had no idea what effect something blockbustering would have. To me, it was just a job that I was trying to do the best I could. We had shot the first five shows before it went on the air. Then, it was this firecracker hit, and people were recognizing me, so it was just nuts. It was overwhelming, insane, wonderful and scary all at the same time. It's really peculiar that people see you on television and then think they have a personal relationship with you. So, they want to touch you, and grab you, and sit down and have lunch with you. It's strange, and you never get used to that.” PeopleThinkingWantTryingFirstsIdeasShowsJobsUsedFiveWonderfulAirEffectsTelevisionStrangeShotsDown AndScaryInsaneNo IdeaLunchOverwhelmingPeculiarNutsRecognizingDo The BestPersonal RelationshipsFirecracker Author:Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs
