When You Slip On A Banana Peel,

I Definitely Divide My Life Into Decades. Almost Every Ten Years, Something In My Work Life Has Changed. My Twenties Were My Journalistic Phase, Then There Was My Screenwriting Phase, Then I Became A Director, Then I Started Doing Some Plays.

How Anyone Gets Anything Done In These Places Is A Mystery To Me.
