At some point I would like to write a book and other things but I work best when there is some sort of deadline in my own mind but not when fifty people or fifty million people are breathing down the back of my neck.

I liked the way they treated the first second and third place finishers equally. It was an amazing year. I only entered two song contests this year I won one and placed second in the other. And I entered each of them a day or two before the deadline.

Science is analytical descriptive informative. Man does not live by bread alone but by science he attempts to do so. Hence the deadliness of all that is purely scientific.

It's ironic that at age 32 at probably the greatest moment of my career with The Godfather having such an enormous success I wasn't even aware of it because I was somewhere else under the deadline again.
